NO LAST MINUTE REPENTANCE.

[David]

Most professing Christians say you can be saved shortly before death by asking GOD to forgive you for your sins. As their proof of this they quote Luke 23:43, the thief on the cross who with a short period of time left to live says to Christ, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom, he is then told by Jesus, today shalt thou be with me in paradise. This only happened to this "one" man "only once" in history to fulfill a specific Bible prophecy. The life of joseph, son of Jacob has many similitudes to do with the life of the Messiah. Joseph was condemned to prison with Pharaoh's butler and baker. Genesis 40. The butler was freed from prison and the baker was hung. So one of the two thieves condemned to die on the cross with Jesus had to live for all the Word to do with the ministry and crucifixion of Jesus to be fulfilled. This cannot happen with anyone else, other than this one man.
