CHAPTER XXVII OF THE SACRAMENTS

1. SACRAMENTS are holy signs and seals of the covenant of grace,1 immediately instituted by God,2 to represent Christ and his benefits, and to confirm our interest in him;3 as also to put a visible difference between those that belong unto the church and the rest of the world;4 and solemnly to engage them to the service of God in Christ, according to his word.5

1. Rom. 4:11; Gen. 17:7,10

2. Matt. 28:19; I Cor. 11:23

3. I Cor. 10:16; I Cor. 11:25-26; Gal. 3:27; Gal. 3:17

4. There be only two sacraments ordained by Christ out Lord in the gospel, that is to say, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord; neither of which may be dispensed by any but by a minister of the word, lawfully ordained.10

10. Matt. 28:19; I Cor. 11:20,23; I Cor. 4:1; Heb. 5:4

5. The sacraments of the Old Testament, in regard of the spiritual things thereby signified and exhibited, were, for substance, the same with those of the New.11

11. I Cor. 10:1-4

CHAPTER XXVIII OF BAPTISM

1. BAPTISM is a sacrament of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ,1 not only for the solemn admission of the party baptized into the visible church;2 but also to be unto him a sign and seal of the covenant of grace,3 of his ingrafting into Christ,4 of regeneration,5 of remission of sins,6 and of his giving up unto God through Jesus Christ, to walk in newness of life:7 which sacrament is, by Christ’s own appointment, to be continued in this church until the end of the world.8

1. Matt. 28:19

2. I Cor. 12:13
