however it is an ordiance that is commanded so if someone refuses to obey then questions would need to be asked.

Why would the thief have needed to be baptized since Jesus was right there? Jesus is not standing in our midst today, hence baptism is necessary. Although in extreme cases like the one mentioned in the first post then I'm pretty sure God will let that slide.
