Nope. When we look at the message of the gospel, when we look at the concept of conversion presented throughout the book of Acts, when we look at the theology and doctrine presented in the epistles concerning the subject, we see that people understood being baptised in the name of the Lord meant becoming a DISCIPLE of the Lord Jesus. There simply was no concept possible of a 'disciple who was not part of the fellowship', it would have been a contradiction in terms.
In addition, considering the errors that have swept into Christendom along with the false concepts of 'salvation' (as if it was all about getting one's own hide to heaven instead being made part of a KINGDOM, a Divine Household and the FAMILY of God) it appears to me that such an approach is needed desperately.
