I don't see a problem with that at all. After all they are obeying the word.
Which is more important, being obedient or having the "proper" understanding of any particular doctrine?

Yes and consider this....it always seems weird when the debate comes up over "baptism saves/does not save"...
I knew this guy that was ex-UPC who is now a Greek Orthodox....still speaks in tongues too. But he was saying this sort of stuff was always a western church thing and it was just foreign to them. And even though they insist baptism is essential for salvation they would never say someone is absolutely lost because they did not get baptized. They leave that up to the sovergnty of God....
But in the end....the issue I raise is this....never...not once EVER did ANYONE EVER in the entire bible question "Do I need to be baptized?"..."Why do I need to be baptized?"...."Is it essential Peter? Or can I hold off for a while till my family arrives".....
Never. They always obeyed immediately...no questions asked
