Paragraph 29.1
Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith
Baptism is an ordinance of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, to be unto the party baptized, a sign of his fellowship with Him, in His death and resurrection; of his being engrafted into Him;1 of remission of sins;2 and of giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to live and walk in newness of life.3
The Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)
28.1
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 his Church until the end of the world.8
