Chapter 12: Of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

That Christian Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water,^a in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit;^b to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem, our faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, with its purifying power;^c that it is pre-requisite to the privileges of a church relation; and to the Lord’s Supper,^d*1 in which the members of the church by the use of bread and wine are to commemorate together the dying love of Christ;^e preceded always by solemn self-examination.^f
