Acts 19
New International Version
Paul in Ephesus
19 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when[a] you believed?”
They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”
“John’s baptism,” they replied.
4 Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues[b] and prophesied. 7 There were about twelve men in all.
The context of what the thief said on the cross is key.
Jesus said tonight you will join me in paradise. This was not heaven, Jesus was talking about, Jesus was talking about the Abrahams bosom, known as a place of paradise for the righteous Who had died in the old t, where Jesus went and preached, I believe it's the same place where the tomb stone was split open, and the saints who had believed in the ot where raised to life.
For all we those people may been baptised in water, we just don't know if Abrahams bosom was also a sea, revelation speaks about the sea giving up there dead. those people could have been sleeping, may have been resurrected in water too 😊 before they came out of the tomb stone through the sea

No. They died the first spiritual death while in the loins of Adam along with Adam which is passed through Adam's seed, and those who remain unsaved will die the second death on judgement day. Due to Adam, everyone who comes into this world comes into it spiritually dead, and thereby, are there two spiritual deaths, but not because they were spiritually alive once in this world. For those whom God had chosen to save/ make born again, the following verses (amongst many others) show us that for them, there can be no possibility of losing salvation.
[1Pe 1:4-5 KJV]
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
[Phl 1:6 KJV]
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:

God's promises are true but NOT unconditional.
Regarding eternal life being eternal, it will always be eternal. A diamond is still a diamond even if we lose it. The diamond doesn't change but our possession of it can. It is the same with eternal life; it will always be eternal but our possession of it can change. If we don't abide in Jesus then we will be cut out of the Vine and burned (John 15:6) and personally lose our eternal life but those who continue in holiness will inherit it.

And we continue (are kept) only by God's will and His power not our own:
[1Pe 1:4-5 KJV]
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

& so, the question prevails: "how can a born again Christian live his or her life never believing & knowing that you are eternally saved"? what a miserable, doubtful, faithless & non trusting life that is. what's the sense in becoming born again? read & learn 1st John 5:13- "these things have we written unto you that believe on the name on the Son of God, THAT YOU MAY KNOW YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE & that you may believe on the Son of God"!!!!
