You didn't really touch on what I was talking about, but this idea you have about anachronistically projecting your faith further back than when it originated is an idea Joseph Smith stole from George Oliver.
Nothing projecting about it. Adam was baptized unto the Only Begotten Son of God. Enoch's Zion was based upon the power of the born again regeneration of the human heart to a state of righteousness. The Jaredites where true believers before Moses. Moses sought to sanctify his people and that by the circumcised heart from God which is Christianity.
Scholars look at history through a peep hole and organize rationally which is ignorant of facts regarding truths that have always come and gone from the purview of man.
