No. Sorry. There is absolutely NO RECORD in either the Post Nicene nor the Ante Nicene Fathers of ANYONE who practiced your idea of the "complete package" - water baptism by immersion in Jesus name, the infilling of the Holy Ghost as evidenced by speaking in other tongues and a Oneness view of the Godhead.
Nobody. Not one. Just getting water baptism by immersion is something of a chore in the Post Nicene Fathers; never mind water baptism by immersion in Jesus' name only.
Of course, since you do have at least the "Post Nicene Fathers" it would be easy for you to prove me wrong. Just name one individual in the Post Nicene fathers, one "heretick" or anyone else for that matter who practiced what you advocate and what you insist is the only way to be saved.
One example. One name. Go for it.
