Zanchius de Sacr. Scriptur. Tract. integ. pag. (mihi) 350, 351.1 maketh baptizing into the name of Christ to signify such a professed Devotedness to him, [ut sciamus nos non esse nostros neque Diaboli, neque Mundi, sed Patris, Filii, & Spiritus sancti, sicut cùm Merces ab aliquo Mercatore emptae obsignantur illius sigillo, cujus factae sunt, ut agnoscantur non ampliùs èsse illius à quo emptae sunt, sed illius qui emit: sic quoniam empty sumus sangnine Christi, cùm hoc credimus, & nomen damus Christo, professi nos omnino velle esse Christi, & Christo inservire.] And if this can be done by a faith short of saving, heartily and truly, then I know nothing that is proper to the Justified: To profess this therefore, is to profess true Sanctification, and consequently a Justifying faith.

Idem Zanch. de Christianâ Relig. Fid. de Bapt. c. 15. pag. 516. [Baptismus est primum novi Foederis sacramentum, quo cum omnes, qui vel poenitentiam peccatorum professi, fidem etiam in Christum, adeóque in Deum Patrem, Filium, & Spiritum sanctum profitentur, vel saltem propter parentum piotatem ad foedus pertinent, Christ, tanquam et jam per Spiritum sanctum incorporati, obsignantur; ut non sint amplius fui juris, sedillius, per quem in foederis societatem, eóque in unum corpus cum eo, sanctisque omnibus, & in omnium spiritualiem coelestiúmque bonorum participationem asciti esse dicuntur, &c.] And that you may know that it is no common Repentance, which they must profess in his sense, he addeth. Unde & Sacramentum Poenitentiae in Remissionem peccatorum, &c. appellatur.] Thess. 2. Etsi verò hes omni de Baptismo praedicentur, veréque illi tanquam organo Spiritus sancti ad hec efficienda attribuantur, eóque ut omnes qui baptizantur tales fieri & esse sacramentaliter verè dicantur, reipsâ tamen non nisi in electis, spiritu Christi donatis, impleri credimus; cùm ii etiam soli verè credant, veréque ad Christum, & ad mysticum ejus Corpus pertineant.] See also Thes. 4. of the necessity of professing Repentance and Faith.
