Acts 19:3-7
3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?” So they said, “Into John’s baptism.” 4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.” 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.

And I disagree for the following reasons.
John’s baptism was from heaven, he having been filled with the Holy Spirit while in his mother’s womb.
John baptized for the remission of sin.
John required his believers to believe on Jesus.
exactly what you teach now.
These 12 men met these requirements, Luke even calls them diciples and believers. The only thing they lacked was the Holy Spirit as John didn’t pass that out.

4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.” 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.
Verses 4 and 5, when not separated, shows that those men were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus at the time John spoke.
All Paul did was lay hands on them.
“Into John’s baptism.” Which was for the remission of sin.
