'Believe this or I shall hit you' is called the Argumentum ad Baculum (the Argument with a Stick) in formal logic. It is also sometimes called the appeal to force.
In order to function at all this argument needs to be delivered by someone who actually has the capacity to harm the person that they are trying to convince. It is hence an established favourite with doorstep evangelists and very young children.
