Until you show from Scripture, <<someone repenting must be immersed in Jesus' Name in water,>> NONE OF WHICH WORDS occur, you have no case. Sorry. Next!
If someone wants to reject Jesus, we can only warn them, if God Permits.
There is a sin that leads to death, Jesus says He does not say to pray for that ....
there is a sin that leadeth not to death, Jesus says to pray for that.

Scared to speak out your mind? Where are those words of yours you claim are in Acts 8? Until you present them stop praying and preaching to others which are far worse than your judging of them.
I ask you one thing, Scripture, This is how you reply.
Now be informed:
I have no <support group> behind me and nobody among between 7 and 8 billion living who <think like> I think. You are the latest proof of the truth of what I tell you now, because I don't believe anything short of SCRIPTURE that will change what or how I think. What you <believe> does not worry me.
IT IS WRITTEN that Jesus would NOT baptise with water (like John the baptist did). There is NO <alternate interpretation>. What you, have to realize, is that it is impossible, not even vaguely probable that Jesus meant baptism <<in water>> when He spoke these words in John 3, on the contrary, the very opposite fills the whole context in John 3,
"4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" -- which
you make a "fleshly" 'water' experience of YOUR OWN "fleshly" WILL, a "fleshly" 'water' requirement: of your, own, "fleshly" imagination: a non-Gospel water-baptism in all.

Acts 2. Repent AND be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. So simple and so obvious.

You do not under any circumstances form a doctrine based on one verse of scripture, especially when there are a dozen that say the opposite.
There will be no scriptures that say the opposite of any singular verse of scripture...there may be contrasting verses that you must reconcile to the verse in question...but never anything that is truly contradictory.
John 3:5 as it is compared to Acts 2:38-39 indicates water baptism is the subject of John 3:5. There are other verses that also teach the salvation value in baptism.
Jesus did not baptize in water; but His disciples did...which does not diminish the importance of baptism: because it was still accomplished on behalf of new disciples.

OK, to avoid being pedantic, you do not base a doctrine on a verse of scripture, especially when there are many verses that do not support your theology on any issue.
There are always many verses that do not support your theology on any issue; for there are a very great multitude of verses in the Bible; and not all of them are going to speak about the issue that you are attempting to prove your point on.
And the verses that do speak on the same subject are not going to truly contradict each other.
Just a thought(s); it seems those who think Jesus is not God have not gotten any doctrine from Scripture (as they don't have the truth) , nor do most people receive any doctrine from God - it seems most people get their doctrine from other people ....
One who is ignorant of the things of God wlll never be right, Jesus is always right because Jesus s the truth.

For He received honor and glory from God the Father, when was borne to Him a voice from the excellent glory, "This is My belovedSon, in whom I am well pleased.

Jhn 14:8, Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

Jhn 14:11, Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
