I never would preach that those who do not obey Acts 2:38 are lost for eternity. My job as a preacher is to preach what God has told me to preach and let him at the end of time decide who is lost and who is not. And so far God has never told me to preach that unless you obey Acts 2:38 you are lost for all eternity.
After all Noah was not baptized in Jesus name, neither was Abraham or any of the other Old testament Saints and I a quite sure most of them are saved.
I firmly believe it is not for me or anyone to decide on who is lost or who isn't.

I would also add that the thief on the cross was not baptized in Jesus name or received the holy ghost with evidence of speaking in other tongues. NOR, were hundreds of thousands of natives living South, Central, and North America living after the events of Acts chapter 2 who would live for many centuries without a witness in their own lands.
