Baptism And The Lord's Supper
This is my blood, which was shed for
many for the remission of sins.
Matthew 28:27-28
Baptism And The Lord's Supper
Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer
in water in the name of the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience
symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified,
buried, and risen Saviour, the believer's
death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the
resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ
Jesus. It is a testimony to his faith in the
final resurrection of the dead. It is a prerequisite to
the privileges of church membership and to
the Lord's Supper.
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience
whereby members of the church, through partaking
of the bread and the fruit of the vine,
memorialize the death of the Redeemer and
anticipate His second coming.
