How could he be in heaven if he wasn't baptized, or are you saying that his faith in the redeemer was enough. Just like the OT prophets?

No, Jesus couldn't do anything. All of the miracles He did were the Father.

[SUP]30[/SUP] "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
(Joh 5:30 NKJ)

Literally, I am not able or I don't have the power. The Word became flesh, flesh cannot be in two places at the same time.

There's no record of it.

And why is there no record, did the Holy Spirit have a moment and forgot? Why did Jesus not give a set date for communion? Why?

Here is a hint John went to paradise just as all the OT saints did and the thief on the cross. But after Jesus death on the cross they were released and went to heaven and none of them stuck there head under water. Matter of fact when Elijah and Elisha came to a stream the water parted and they crossed on dry ground.

You think all of the miracles Jesus did was God? well you would be correct Jesus says in revelation He is the Alpha and the Omega the first and the last if you say that is God you would be correct Jesus fully God and man I just believe what scripture says even when it seems hard to understand

In Revelation does it say that they overcame by sticking there head in some water or by the blood of the Lamb?

No, he didn't go to Paradise because God put angels to block the way into Paradise so that man could not eat of the Tree of Life. John and the OT saints went to the grave where they will remain until the resurrection. And no they didn't get baptized because they were under the old covenant.

Ok fair enough but 1 Corinthians chapter 5 says absent from the body present with the Lord

Then why did Jesus say to the thief "today you will be with me in paradise"

What does it say in 1 Peter 3:21? Picking certain passages and ignoring others will not lead to truth
