Baptism in water and receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost happened subsequent to their conversion as they walked with God by faith.

Faith in God's grace caused Noah to build an ark which saved him NOT faith alone. By faith Noah builded.
According to your theology it would read by faith Noah did NOTHING his faith alone kept him from drowning. But BIBLE faith always requries something of man. And in this dispensation it is obedience to
Acts 2:38. True Jesus saves through faith in his blood in obeying the gospel.
