Sorry, but I don't know the man and cannot say if Jesus knew Him. Your saying so does not make it so, but what Jesus says to the man counts, and Jesus, as God, commands water baptism for those who hear and believe the Gospel.
As you have a different gospel, called MAD, which is not in Scripture, then I would wonder if the man had ever heard the Gospel of Christ, as is recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; with Matthew and John being two of the twelve foundation Apostles for the One Church, which is built upon the Chief cornerstone, the One New Man, who is YHWH the Word of God, come in human flesh of the second creation to build the "temple" for the Father's Glory to indwell, of human beings adopted out of dead in spirit Adam, into His New Man Name -which name is "Israel", so named by the Father [Isaiah 49], who is the Only Begotten Son of the Father as to humanity, and only Living Son of God as to humanity, and the Elect Son, as to the inheritance of the earth and of the heavenlies of the earth's spiritual dominion.
Willfull rebellion -not ignorance [which Paul the Apostle of Scripture was guilty of and blasphemed in ignorance, he said]- is spiritual death for anyone claiming to be twice born. If twice born, in spirit [once in Adam and once in Christ] then they make themselves twice dead -both NT terms, with the "twice dead" found in Jude.
But I do know what Jesus said about those who do not obey Him, who claim to know Him, but are, in fact, "lawless", willfully.
Born again in Spirit people who have the authority to cast out devils in Jesus' name [for no one can use His name if they have not received the authority by the Spirit to do so, to cast out demons] and those who do many wonderful works in His name -by His authority of power because they received His Spirit to use His name and power- will be twice dead for "lawlessness", which is called iniquity by the KJ translators.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
iniquity: 1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
you claim your straw man was saved, but if He did not build His house upon the Rock of the Words of Christ and obedience to the One whom you claimed he named as Savior, then you have no authority to get the man into heaven for his rebellion -and you have no way to undo Christ's Words and commands and get into heaven yourself.
Thanks for the neg reps, showing me that you, as the MAD board members do, use the neg as a computer game you play to zap posters, especially, whom you cannot reply to, by using Scripture to refute Scripture, which I do use to refute MAD.
BTW: to be twice dead is to get your name blotted out of the Lamb's Book of Life, after being born the second time in the One Living Spirit of the New Man; which second birth is offered by the Light that lights every man that comes into the world to all human beings born in Adam, who were written in His Book from the foundation of the world.
Dead in Adam and dead in the Spirit of the New Man is to be a reprobate and to suffer the second death, hopelessly, forever, which is called the lake of fire.
Jud 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
