Acts 2:40-41 And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!" 41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.
It sure seems like the scriptures put added after they were baptized.
In Christ our Lord,

Good question!
I think that the more important words are "...had received his word...", (not that baptism is not important).
I see in the situation that the previously, unbelieving people (Jews?) heard and received the Gospel message... it's after that they were baptized and entered into the fellowship of believers.

The Greek word “antitupon,” as used in I Peter 3: 21, is “an adjective, used as a noun,” and denotes, in the NT, “a corresponding type,” being “said of baptism.” “The circumstances of the flood, the ark and its occupants, formed a type, and baptism forms “a corresponding type,” each setting forth the spiritual realities of the death, burial, and resurrection of believers in their identification with Christ.
It 's not a case of type and antitype, but of two types, that in Genesis, the type, and baptism, the corresponding type.” Noah was saved by the ark “through (via) water.” Water was not the means of their salvation, but the ark. The ark is what both delivered and preserved them, the two aspects of “salvation.” Their “salvation” was typical of the salvation promised to the Christian. It pictured it. So also does Christian baptism picture the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.
By saying, "not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience -through the resurrection of Jesus Christ," Peter guards against saving power to the physical ceremony itself.

I didn't say that you can't confess Christ apart from being baptized. I said that baptism is indeed a confession of Christ before men...even to the uttermost, no turning back.
If you confess Him with your mouth only, you can deny Him later with your mouth and you will lose what you gained in confessing Him.
But if you confess Him in baptism, the only way you can lose your salvation is if you are baptized again in another name.

The Spirit is promised as the result of receiving baptism, read it correctly.
Because I think that you have an unwarranted bias because of the fact that, either you have not been baptized according to Acts 2:38 yourself but want to believe that you are saved; or else you have been baptized and want to believe that loved ones are saved apart from baptism in Jesus' Name.
