But at the same time, what if someone gets baptized in Jesus' name, not knowing that the Jesus is the Name of the Father, Son, HG.
What if they obey Acts 2:38, but still believe in the trinity? why doesn't that invalidate the baptism?

Honestly Amanah, most new believers don't even know there's a debate about FSH baptism or Jesus' name baptism. All a new believer know at the moment of conversion is that he/she is surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus.
The debates begin after they are saved...lol. It's not complicated. We complicate things. A new believer is
RIGHTEOUS, JUSTIFIED, IN RIGHT STANDING, before Almighty God because and ONLY because of his/her faith in the PERSON of Jesus Christ.
Salvation is of the LORD (not man). To say that because some man uttered the name "Jesus" over you means you're saved is a huge delusion.
To say that a person is NOT saved because someone uttered the "wrong words" over you is to think that salvation is based on a man words. I just CANNOT believe that. That is huge blindness.
A statement of fact that CANNOT be denied is that Azusa street brethren (which some "apostolics" like to lay claim to) were trinitarians.
Why would God give the Holy Ghost to trinitarians if their sins are not remitted? Why would God indwell people whose sins have not been remitted?

The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity
