Many are so high minded about the OPINION that "Thief not being baptised" pertaining to Luke 23:40-42.
According to the bible, it never says weather the theif was or never baptised, The theif is assumed to have not been baptised by most Christians claiming that Baptism isn't nessecary.
The man had honesty and courage as seen in his rebuke of the other robber, he appeared to fear God, acknowledged his guilt. accepted his deserved punishment, showed respect for Jesus, defended Jesus' innocence, and had some knowledge of Jesus' kingdom (Luke 23:40-42).
The day Jesus died, he DID NOT go to Heaven, Scripture says he went to Hell (Acts 2:31) so this means that the Thief also went to hell but it was a different part. According to history, it was understood in the past ages that hades was divided into two parts‑first, paradise, the unseen abode of the embodied spirits of the righteous and, secondly, tartarus, the unseen abode of disembodied spirits of the wicked (cf. Luke 16:19-31).
