I don't think you're aware of previous conversations I've had on this. With EB I differed with him because I was not aware of any evidence after the first and second centuries wherein anyone practiced
Acts 2:38 as we do until the 20th century. My argument is that this creates a "gap" in which Satan successfully darkened the light of the Gospel. I couldn't embrace such a notion. However, I assured him that if I could find a solid witness of the truth down through history, I'd be more than willing to agree with him.
If what this illustrates beyond the second century is true... I've found the witness I asked for.
