Not sure about all that....I believe that baptism is in obedience to the work of salvation that has taken place at repentance. I believe that we are to do it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, as we have seen it in Scripture. I do not believe that all others are lost, if they have come to know Him and have followed Him in baptism.
I know too many wonderful Christian people who are totally sold out to Jesus who have not been baptized in Jesus' name, but understood when they were baptized that they were being baptized "into Christ". To me, they are saints of God.
