The thief on the cross was an extraordinary last-hour situation, not the pattern for those who have time to obey. Repent, accept Yeshua as Messiah, be baptized, and walk in deeds worthy of repentance.baptism, thief on the cross, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Jesus the Christ, Yeshua Messiah, repentance, salvation, born again, Christian baptism, Luke 23, John 5, Revelation 20, resurrection of judgment, resurrection of life, faith and works, grace alone, faith alone, Torah, follow Jesus, follow Yeshua, gospel message, biblical baptism, baptism required, Christian teaching, Messiah, Yahweh, shalom
