I've always understood it sort of like say your Father saying:
"If you think that [i.e. you can steal your little brother's
ice cream cone], then you have another thing [i.e no ice
cream, but maybe the leather strap] coming."
I think it depends on the context, "another thing coming" works
with threats whereas "another think coming" works with
civilized/intellectual disagreement.
Due to the popularity of "another thing coming" I probably would
avoid using "think coming" lest it be interpreted as hostility.
