So, my question stands - Are you inferring that you are saved when you ask for forgiveness/repent?
The Bible says Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
That tells me that you are not saved at repentance alone.

So, since you are a 'three-stepper' (correct?), you don't believe your sins are forgiven until after you've repented, been baptized, and been filled with the Holy Ghost (speaking in tongues)?
Usually even three steppers believe that you are forgiven
at least at baptism, if not repentance.
