I believe the scepter is the soul gem. In the original comics the soul gem was a senient item that wanted to collect souls.It could steal souls and 'reveal the cold knowledge of truth'. Dr.Selvig said more than knowledge, truth after being 'enslaved' by the scepter.

From what I noticed the scepter works by Loki touching it to someone's heart. He says to 'accept it in your heart...know peace'  the heart is said to be synomous with the soul. Some people think it is the mind gem, but I don't think so. So, the Tesseract is the Space Stone, The Orb is the Power stone, The Aether is the Reality stone (turning things back to how it was before life began seems reality warping to me ),leaving only the Time and Mind Stones.
