Acts 2:38, was written (along with the rest of the Book of Acts) sometime in the late First Century. Thus, it was "taught" or at least read from that time forward.
I have made the argument that the "Water & Spirit" doctrine, also referred to as the "Three Stepper" teaching concerning
Acts 2:38, was not preached nor believed by anyone from approximately 200 A.D. until after 1913 A.D.
No one has ever answered that challenge. I obviously can't know what every human being who lived in that time period actually believed or preached - no one could. The lack, however, of any historical witnesses for what the "Three Stepper" crowd has called the absolutely essential condition for salvation in the Church Age does present them with a real problem.
Salvation by grace through faith has no such problem.
