These words from Scripture and the confessions may be used in preparation for celebrating the Sacrament of Baptism. They may also be used as an invitation to the reaffirmation of Baptism or the renewal of baptismal discipleship.
Baptism is a sacrament, wherein the washing with water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, signifies and seals our ingrafting into Christ, and partaking of the benefits of the covenant of grace, and our engagement to be the Lord’s.
