So we should not read too much into that story of the "thief" on the cross next to Jesus. Remember that robber did not properly repent for his sins, and live a faithful life in Christ, crucifying all the lusts of his flesh. Jesus probably did not hear both robbers on the other crosses reproach Him and mock Him, as the gospel writers Mark and Matthew record.

We all know that mockers and revilers will not inherit the kingdom of God, so this thief could not possibly enter into eternal life.
The word needs to be handled carefully, with humility and allowing the Spirit of God to speak to us during. It's possible to take Jesus at his word and still make everything work. That's why we need the Spirit of God to guide us to truth because to take Jesus at his word would be insane when held against our human wisdom.
