Apples and oranges. We don't cast out people's sins. And vocalizing the name of Jesus to demons is not a given they will leave. Just ask the sons of Sceva in Acts. They had no authority to use the name of Jesus because they did not know Jesus by way of the new birth. Therefore, by your thinking, a sincerely repentant sinner could be baptized with the name of Jesus invoked over them and still remain in their sins if the the one baptizing was not right with God.
