Question Are "Jackpot" Apostolics Saved?

I have a simple question for this congregation, and I'd like to get your input and hopefully stimulate some thoughtful, biblical answers.

Are "Jackpot" Apostolics Saved?

I know, I know, I hear you saying, "What is that supposed to mean? NO! NO, NO!!! NO GAMBLING IN THE CHURCH, BROTHER!" Actually, I know some kids who got in trouble for playing poker after service and... Never mind, I digress...

So, let me clarify my question with a hypothetical story:

There is a man who we'll just call Ichabod McPhilistine, ok? Ichabod goes to this church that's kinda' like an ecumenical charismatic deal. Sometimes they baptize in trinity, sometimes in The Name, sometimes in two titles, sometimes one title and The Name, sometimes not at all, sometimes they tell people they can just pray the sinners prayer. So Ichabod finds himself at an alter one day, and repents as they call for those that would like to join the baptism today. It just so happens to be a day when they've decided to use the titles and The Name. Ichabod is baptized, he's filled with the Holy Ghost, his life turns around. "Jackpot!" one might say, he's saved, "He's won the lottery", couch it how you will, he got baptized on the right day out of sheer probability perhaps. Mind you skeptics, remember, he did have The Name of Jesus called over him in baptism in my story.

So, is Ichabod saved? Is he not? If not, why?

What would Jesus say?

I'll tell you my answer later, but I want to hear yours for now.

@Peace with it all.
