Answer: Yes, but this has never happened and more than likely never will
1Peter 3:21 says that in like manner, baptism does now also save us.
Mark 16:16 says the he who believes and is baptized shall be saved. So, that person is lost.

Yes, because the sign given through the Acts of the Apostles that someone has received the Holy Ghost is that they speak with tongues. Until she speaks with tongues, just as they did at Pentecost, she is lost.

Answer: No. He has obeyed the Gospel. Misunderstanding the Gospel does not negate his faith that his sins have been washed away. His obedience to the Gospel is sufficient. Now, he can be discipled about how repentance does not save, but that baptism is where sins are remitted.
OK, I answered truthfully.
