Further... why would you NOT want the name of Jesus spoken over you by the baptizor? Why would you not want to confess that you are a sinner and call on the Name of Jesus during baptism? After all, it is biblical, as pointed out by Esiasis in another thread with this verse:
Acts 22:16 "And now, why tarriest thou? arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord."

Kept, If I was being baptized today, I would say, "Lord Jesus, I thank you for forgiving me of my sins. And now I ask you to wash those sins away, in your precious name Jesus, I ask it."
At that point, I don't believe that we should say that we are a sinner. Because we would have been forgiven of all past sins, and not living in sin.
Maybe I'm wrong but I believe a sinner is one living in sin. We as Christians may commit a sin, and do sometimes but we ask for forgiveness and strive not to commit that sin again.
