Re: Calling on the Name of Jesus (at baptism)

They would nod or answer yes. Generally, the last time they actually called on the name of Jesus was 20 mins earlier, and that was the last time they vocalized the name of Jesus until atleast when they came up out of the water. The baptiser did the vocalizing of Jesus. "Having repented of your sins, I now baptism you innthe name of Jesus for the remission of sins".
So, do you guys view that as "being baptised calling on the name of the Lord"?

Acts 22:16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.'
James 2:7 Don't they blaspheme the noble name that was pronounced over you at your baptism? Holman Christian Standard Bible
James 2:7 is the baptizer, and Acts 22:16 is the baptizee.
