My Pastor was of that mindset somewhat and if you asked in the area of the country I was raised everyone would have told you he believed that although he did not. They baptized folks all over the world preaching Acts 2:38.

That being the case, why would people have a problem with the way TrulyBlessed or Keith4Him have articulated the message?
Both those men (if I have understood them correctly) have stated that salvation occurs upon repentence and that the "gift" of the Holy Ghost is
given to those who have obeyed the Gospel and believed. By "obeyed the Gospel" it is meant: believed and repented. Of course a test of genuine faith comes into play at the waters of baptism and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. But to be "saved" you must believe.
Preach that today in a lot of Apostolic circles and you will likely be castigated by "conservatives." Yet that is exactly the way the founders of the PCI put it.
