And even more direct, on the subject of baptism, if baptism does not save how important is it to do it the way God wants it to be done Or does it matter?

Is there a right way to baptize or is that subjective? And if there was a right way in scriptures and a specific practice the early church went with...how important is that truth? Can you be saved and not have a love or desire to know the truth and obey it?

The truth is absolutely important:

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

As for baptism:

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
