Identification and proclamation for those with credible profession of faith.
Christ gave His church two ordinances: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism is the believer’s public identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection, and entrance into the community of faith. The Lord’s Supper is the ongoing proclamation of that union and the continued fellowship of the redeemed around the finished work of Christ.
These ordinances belong to the church, not to individuals or families. They are not means of salvation, nor should they be cheapened by careless administration. Both require a credible profession of faith and careful oversight by the elders who will give an account for the souls under their care. When practiced biblically, baptism and communion powerfully declare the gospel and strengthen the body.
