Doubting Thomas is what we tend to call him now because of his doubt that Jesus had actually risen but during his lifetime he was called Didymus which means twin.
John's Gospel, which Elaine Pagels sees as containing an element of anti-Thomas narrative, has Thomas miss out on receiving the Holy Spirit. The Gospel says that Jesus met the disciples in an upper room in Jerusalem, with Thomas absent, and breathed on each of the disciples and gave them the Holy Spirit. He met the disciples again a few days later, when Jesus showed 'Doubting Thomas' his wounds, but did not give him the Holy Ghost. However, Acts of the Apostles was in a somewhat different tradition, in which the disciples clearly had not received the Holy Spirit before Jesus was taken up into heaven. In this story, all the disciples - Thomas included - received the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost.
Thomas was chosen as a disciple by Jesus to be one of the twelve apostles. He accompanied Jesus during his ministry, witnessed his miracles, and was present at key events like the Last Supper and the Resurrection. Thomas played a significant role in spreading the teachings of Jesus after his death.
