I couldn't find it either. However, I am sure a lot of things happened back then that did not get recorded in the Bible.
"we are saved by grace through faith (In Jesus' message)" does not include Baptism. (Baptism could have meant spiritual immersion - Like being born again -

John baptized, . (Ac 19:4) All sorts of persons came to John to be baptized, including harlots and tax collectors
FOLLOWING the Passover in the spring of 30Â C.E., Jesus and his disciples leave Jerusalem. However, they do not return to their homes in Galilee but go into the country of Judea, where they do baptizing. John the Baptizer has been doing the same work for about a year now, and he still has disciples associating with him.
Actually, Jesus does not do any baptizing himself, but his disciples do it under his direction. Their baptism has the same significance as that performed by John, it being a symbol of a Jew’s repentance of sins against God’s Law covenant. However, after his resurrection, Jesus instructs his disciples to do baptizing that has a different significance. Christian baptism today is a symbol of a person’s dedication to serve Jehovah God.
SHORTLY before his ascension to heaven, Jesus gave his disciples a commission. He told them: “Make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.” (Matthew 28:19) What a staggering task that was!
2 Just think! At Pentecost 33 C.E., about 120 disciples received the outpouring of holy spirit and began to fulfill that commission by telling others that Jesus was the long-hoped-for Messiah, through whom salvation could be gained. (Acts 2:1-36) How would such a small group reach “people of all the nations”? In human terms it was impossible, but “with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) The early Christians had the support of Jehovah’s holy spirit, and they had a sense of urgency. (Zechariah 4:6; 2 Timothy 4:2) Hence, within just a few decades, the apostle Paul could say that the good news was being declared “in all creation that is under heaven.”—Colossians 1:23.
3 Throughout much of the first century, true worship continued to spread. However, Jesus had prophesied that the time would come when Satan would sow “weeds” and the true Christian “wheat” would be overshadowed for many centuries until harvesttime. After the death of the apostles, that came true.—Matthew 13:24-39.
Rapid Increase Today
4 In 1919, it was time for the pure Christian wheat to be separated from the weeds. Anointed Christians knew that Jesus’ great commission still applied. They firmly believed that they were living in “the last days” and were aware of Jesus’ prophecy: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” (2Â Timothy 3:1; Matthew 24:14) Yes, they knew that there was much work to be done.
5 Still, like the disciples in 33 C.E., those anointed Christians faced a huge challenge. There were merely a few thousand of them located in just a few countries. How could they possibly preach the good news “in all the inhabited earth”? Remember, the earth’s population had increased from perhaps 300 million in the time of the Caesars to nearly 2 billion after the first world war. And throughout the 20th century, it would continue to increase rapidly.

Acts 8: 38. It doesn't specify that they were baptized in the name of the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit, but it doesn mention them baptizing, and why would they not do it the way they were commanded. I think your search to find unfulfilled scripture seems to be stretched in this case.

Let's analyze something. Jesus Prayed<< Two simple words that carry a heavy meaning. Jesus prayed. To whom? If Jesus is God....then Jesus prayed to himself? Does that make any sense at all? What do we call people gratifying themselves in a mirror? It could only mean one thing- since Jesus was definitely not self obsessed. Prayer is a form of submission. You ask someone for something when they have power over that matter. You instruct someone when you have power over the matter. Jesus prayed means he submitted himself to Someone or Something he thought had power over something that Jesus did not. Now if Jesus is God, you are saying that God has limited powers...and isn't that some form of blasphemy?
Now- to the trinity- if Jesus was an equal in a trinity, he still wouldn't pray, but maybe he would consult. Did he ever go bargaining of "consulting" with God? The answer is NO.
Another point- Jesus was tempted by the devil! How blind is it that people cannot see things in front of their eyes. The devil is superbly intelligent isn't he? He has manipulated many men in very cunning ways. Do you not think that the devil knows who created him? and the devil attempts to tempt Jesus? If Jesus was Divine, shared in it, or even if he was God, how would the devil tempt God with God's very own creations???!! Can;t you see? God has created the planet and everything in it, and has a billion more galaxies. You mean God would submit himself to something He Created in order to gain something that is already His? People have continued to insult their own intelligence. That's like the employee at a car factory telling the factory owner to sign over all ownership to the employee, and in return, the factory owner can have one of the cars. How stupid a barter, and how naive anyone who believes such a barter could even take place, especially in the presence of far more knowledgeable beings? Again I ask you to think- that's all I ask. Its probably the most ignored advice.

Not all is fulfilled. The world has not come to an end yet. The second coming of Christ, the rapture have not yet occurred. The Bible teaches that God/Jesus will come again and judge the LIVING and the dead. Read the gospels and read Revelation. I think you may find your answers there. God Bless

well, this happened in the Ukraine in 988 AD.
The King of Rus sent out emmisaries to see which religion would be best for his country, since many around him were being converted to either Islam or Christianity. He chose Christianity by virtue of two men: St Cyril and St Methodius.
All the citizens of Ukraine were ordered baptized and all became Christian.

"Go ye therefore. and teach all nations. baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"
Every nation today has had Chrsitianity taught in it. This has been fulfilled. Every nation knows what christianity is, so therefore, they must have been taught it at some point in history.
