I see where you're going with this, but I think the point others have been making is that in the bible there's no place for some kind of "thorough examination" that some Baptists seem to want from would-be members. The only rule for profession is that it is the
correct profession, that is, of repentance and faith in Christ. No background checks. No questionnaire. Etc etc etc. 3000 men were baptized on Pentecost; it's hard to believe there could have been time for anything other than a simple profession from each.
This is exactly what he was trying to say. He's arguing that Baptists try harder than the bible requires to keep the Church pure. So are you arguing against him or against yourself here?
