It just can't be done, the baptism was to fulfill all righteousness. Sins are washed away, and repentance is part of our growth towards maturity. Those men at Jerusalem weren't repenting of dipping, drinking, they were repenting of killing the Messiah, those who were pagan had to repent of their false religions and brake off from those practices. The plan is pretty simple and the Bible makes it plain.
The sad issue is that most who have been in Apostolic faith and then have reconsidered their stand on water baptism in the name of Jesus being a must, were never really convinced in the first place. Meaning that the research was never properly done.
Water baptism by full submersion in the name of Jesus Christ only is a Biblical fact, if you can't find a the proper historian to back up the Bible, then I would tell you to keep digging, but just keep in mind that the Bible is correct.

Elder, can you prove it is not optional?
