4. To be Baptized, is to be solemnly invested in a visible State of Regeneration, Pardon, Adoption, and Right to Christ and Life Eternal, by a Ministerial Delivery of such Right as in the Name of Christ.

And to force them to say they are Willing, and to receive that which they have no right to, is Sacrilegious profaning Holy things.
