So let me ask, if someone is baptized in the name of the Father Son and the Holy Ghost, is this going to negate their Baptism/Salvation?
Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
And yes it has been debated forever, and it will go on forever. Its already been spoken of what Acts 2:38 means, but I would take it that you choose to interpret it as Baptism brings Forgiveness. I disagree and can quote you all the other times that Greek word means because of, which of course changes the understanding of that verse. Be baptized because of the remission of your Sins.
Matt 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Same Greek Word there as is for in Acts 2:38. Did the men repent BECAUSE OF the preaching of Jonas or did they repent (because of) the remission of sins,
If we take Acts 2:38 to be Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ (because of) the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Then it takes on a different meaning and it lines up with what Peter preaches in his next 2 sermons, where he doesnt mention Baptism for Salvation, which is odd if he really is telling people they NEED to be Baptized in Water for Salvation.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Seems Peter ought to have commanded this every time he preached if it was necessary for Salvation, but the one thing he always preached was believing in Jesus...
I don't think it is profitable to try and second guess Peter. There is enough evidence in scripture to build a solid foundation for what one believes in this matter.

Check my post on the matter.

Disagree all you want. I don't need your opinion to know what I believe is the truth.
You said; (because of) the remission of sins, I have about 10 different versions of the bible and the original greek but not one of them says because of.
You said; Did the men repent BECAUSE OF the preaching of Jonas or did they repent IN ORDER TO the preaching of Jonas?
In order to the preaching of Jonas. Gobbledegook I am afraid.
