If I'm the decision maker and I tell someone "nope, you don't get baptism" I am essentially telling that person that he is not saved, and I am forbidding him from partaking in the visible sign and seal of that salvation. | Is the converse also true? By baptizing them, are you essentially telling that person that he is saved? (in a different way than baptismal regeneration, of course)
