Does the Scriptures say Jesus Christ is the only true God?
(I John 5:20, Matthew 1:23, John 1:1-14, 14:7-9, Revelation 1:8)
Jesus is both Jehovah and the Father. “Jehovah” is a name and the “Father” is a title that God has used in the past and Jehovah is Jesus Christ, Gods’ everlasting name (Isaiah 9:6). However, in this dispensation, God's highest and eternal name is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the foundation, the Rock and the name for salvation (Acts 4:12).
The meaning of Jesus Christ is Jehovah Saviour (Isaiah 43:11). In other words, Jehovah is God’s everlasting name which is translated today as Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only true God because God said, He would not give his glory to another (Isaiah 42:8). God has given his glory to himself through his glorified body and name - Jesus Christ.
In a strange way, some Christians say they don’t believe Jesus is the only God, yet they are giving him (Jesus) all the praise and glory in every church that I've ever seen. When they knew God, they worshiped him not as God (Romans 1:21).
It's very seldom that one would hear anything about the Father, Jehovah, Yahweh or Elohim in most of our Christian churches. If they don't believe that Jesus is the only God, then why are they giving him so much glory and praying to him all the time? They know Jesus but they are not glorifying him as God, they are glorifying him only as the Son of God. Question?
Why would we give so much praise to the Son and not the Father? (Romans 1:19-22). This is the real answer. They are worshiping God in ignorance. They are worshiping the Son, not realizing that the Son is also God the Father. They don’t know the Father, neither do they know the Son. (John 14:7).

The Thief on the cross was not baptized, are you saying he wasn't saved?
(Luke 23:42-43)
Some people will say the thief on the cross was saved because he was invited to be with Christ in paradise. However, we have to understand that salvation wasn’t established yet. So we can’t say he was saved in the strictest sense of the word.
The message of salvation and the born again experience, on the day of Pentecost, had not happened because Jesus had not died and risen. We can say he was received into paradise with Jesus because of righteousness. Only God himself can offer anyone eternal life or to be with him in paradise. The thief on the cross was born under the old dispensation, the same as Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the prophets.
Therefore, if they could be set free from the bondage of sin, so could the thief on the cross. Under the old dispensation, only the baptism of John was recognized by the masses. However, John’s baptism was not the baptism that would bring salvation to man. The baptism in Jesus name is the baptism of salvation and it had not been mentioned by Peter at the time (Acts 2:1-42).
Everyone who came after Peter’s sermon would have to be baptized in Jesus name in order to receive remission of sin through the washing of the blood of Christ. In summary, the thief went to paradise under the old dispensation.
