CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
When should you get baptized?

Notice that none of your examples are cases where someone with no access to the Bible, no understanding of the God of the bible at all - is being baptized and all the examples are cases where believers are baptized who have heard and understood the gospel.
Even Cornelius was a Bible student, a believer in the one true God of the Bible - before he met Peter.
Christianity was considered "a sect" of Judaism. So when they met people who already understood the Bible religion found in Judaism - all they had to do was introduce Jesus of Nazareth as the long hoped for Messiah and add that His mission was to pay for the sins of the world - rather than just to be a military leader that freed Jerusalem from Rome.
