Look closely at what is stated in Acts 10:43. It specifically states that it is through Jesus' name that sins are remitted.
Acts 10:43
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Note the parallel in what Peter told believers on the Day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:38) The Gentiles received the same command to submit to water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 10:47-48)

As I pointed out, my answer regarding medical issues, etc. was speculation. Personally, I find it hard to believe that any circumstance would keep a person from obeying God's command to be water baptized once they realized it was an essential part of salvation.
As to who has authority to baptize, every believer has that authority. This authority was given by God. God will use whoever is willing and available for the task. Normally, people get water baptized by leaders in their church. However, it is of no consequence who baptizes a person. What is essential is that the believer understands it is necessary to be buried with Jesus in order for their sins to be remitted.
The actual transaction, so to speak, is between God and the one who has chosen to obey His command.

Excellent, Precious friend, Richman! And a Very Warm Welcome to a new member:
Ephesians 4:5 1 Corinthians 12:13
Yes, 'water' is, imho, the Most Divisive tradition in denominational christen-
dom, Today. Prayerful And Careful study of God's Word Of TRUTH, Rightly
Divided, Indeed shows us "God's Answer" Of NO 'water ritual' for us, Today,
Under HIS Amazing GRACE, As He Plainly And Clearly Teaches There is
'ONLY' ONE Baptism for The Body of CHRIST, Today, Under God's PURE GRACE,
And, should not be Confused with, But Must Be:
Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That DIFFER!” {online}:
the other 12 baptismS found In God's Word Of TRUTH! Amen?
God's Wonderful 'Answer Thus Eliminates' ALL of the following
Disagreements And Confusion:
1) believe AND be baptized {i.e. immersion to contact their Christ's blood}?
2) immersion with a symbolic interpretation?
3) immersion ONCE in the "name of Jesus?
4) immersion THRICE in the "name of the Triune Godhead?
5) immersion {whether once or thrice} for "membership" in their traditional assembly?
6) sprinkling water on babies inducting them into religion washing away their original sin?
7) sprinkling water on babies inducting them into some covenant?
8) sprinkling water on babies inducting them into their parent's custody that they promise to raise them right? {into Mass Confusion?}
9) sprinkling water on babies, admitting that their ritual is UNscriptural, but "we do it anyway, because it is OUR tradition!"?
10) pouring water onto babies or adults for Whatever traditional reason religion "can come up with"?
11) immersion of young and middle-aged women 'similar' to worldly/ungodly 'wet t-shirt' contests?
12) immersion Discriminates Against ALL "those who CANNOT 'obey' this ritual" ie: the hospitalized, the bedridden, the homebound, the invalids, the traumatized, etc.
God is Certainly 'NOT the author' (1 Corinthians 14:33) of all this "carnal DIVISION"
which is similar to what Paul addresses in (1 Corinthians 1:9-17), Correct?
Again, our 'choice' = participate in this Massive Confusion or believe God,
Today, Under GRACE =
There is 'ONLY' ONE Baptism, Today, Under God's PURE GRACE! Amen?
---------------------------------------
I thank God gratefully Every Day, That HIS ETERNAL Salvation For me,
IS In HIS HANDS ALONE! Amen?
(2 Timothy 2:15; Romans 16:25; Ephesians 3:9 =
Grace/Mystery fellowship {Romans – Philemon}, For ALL “to SEE,” today?)
Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!
God’s Simple Will!

Matt 28: 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
How many times are we supposed to be baptized?

S
pretty much if you are Oneness Pentecostal like wansvic is
they do not believe in the Trinity, so they are certainly not going to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
further, they teach that if you are not baptized in water, you are not saved and if you do not speak in tongues you are not saved despite that fact that the Bible states all do not speak in tongues
I do have that gift myself, so it is not that I am anti-tongues, I am anti- nonsense and twisting scripture.
and welcome to CC

I suggest that YOU more closely. It doesn't say "through Jesus' name".
Acts 10:43
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
I don't know if your error is intentional or just reading too quickly, but the next TWO WORDS are the key to receiving remisison of sins.
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
The action for remission of sins is to believe in Christ. The result is to have sins remitted.
