1. Baptism is a sacrament of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ.a It is not only for the solemn admission of the one baptized into the visible Church,b but is also to be to him a sign and seal of:
Baptism is, by Christ’s own appointment, to be continued in His Church until the end of the world.h
aMatthew 28:19 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; b1 Corinthians
12:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cRomans 4:11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) with
Colossians 2:11–12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; dGalatians 3:27 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 6:5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; eTitus 3:5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; fMark 1:4 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; gRomans 6:3–4 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; hMatthew
28:19–20 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
2. The outward element to be used in this sacrament is water, with which the person is to be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, by a minister of the Gospel, lawfully called to the ministry.
Matthew 3:11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; John 1:33 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Matthew 28:19–20 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
3. Dipping of the person into the water is not necessary, but baptism is rightly administered by pouring or sprinkling water upon the person.
Hebrews 9:10, 19–22 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 2:41 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 16:33 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Mark 7:4 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
4. Not only those who actually profess faith in Christ and obedience to Him are to be baptized,a but also the infants of one or both believing parents.b
aMark 16:15–16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 8:37–38 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bGenesis 17:7,
9–10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) with
Galatians 3:9, 14 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) and Colossians
2:11–12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) and Acts
2:38–39 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) and Romans
4:11–12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ;[2] 1
Corinthians 7:14 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Matthew 28:19 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Mark 10:13–16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Luke 18:15 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
5. It is a great sin to despise or neglect this ordinance.a But grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed to it that no person can be regenerated or saved without it,b or that all who are baptized are undoubtedly regenerated.c
aLuke 7:30 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) with
Exodus 4:24–26 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bRomans 4:11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 10:2, 4, 22, 31, 45,
47 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cActs 8:13, 23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
6. The efficacy of baptism is not tied to that moment in time in which it is administered.a However, by the right use of this ordinance, the grace promised is not only offered, but really exhibited and conferred by the Holy Spirit to those to whom that grace belongs, according to the counsel of God’s own will in His appointed time. This is true whether the one baptized is of age or an infant.b
aJohn 3:5, 8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bGalatians 3:27 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Titus 3:5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Ephesians 5:25–26 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 2:38, 41 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
7. The sacrament of baptism is to be administered to any person just once.

supports you. 19Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so
that I might be grafted in.” 20That is true. They were broken off because
of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud,
but fear. 21For if God did not spare the natural branches,
neither will he spare you. 22Note then the kindness and the severity of
God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided
you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. 23And
even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for
God has the power to graft them in again. 24For if you were cut from what is by nature

tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into
their own olive tree.

20 Well! For unbelief they were
broken off. And you stand by faith. Do not be highminded, but fear.

according to nature branches, fear lest neither He will spare you.
22 Behold, therefore, the kindness
and severity of God: On the ones having fallen, severity. But on you,
kindness, if you continue in the kindness. Otherwise, you will also be cut off.
23 And those also, if they do not
continue in unbelief, will be grafted in. For God is able to graft them in
again.

the root supports you. 19You will say then, “Branches were broken off so

God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut
off. 23And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted

[1] engraftment: the process of grafting a scion onto a stock, both being woody plants. The stock is an already rooted plant. The scion may be of a same or (usually) different species and may be a branch or whole plant above the roots. The grafting process involves making a special cut on the trunk or a branch of both the stock and scion so that the two may be joined and bound. Done right, the scion and stock become as one plant, the stock providing water and nutrients and the scion, products of photosynthesis. Both remain their own original species. The reference to engraftment is to call to mind the teaching of Christ that He is the vine and believers are the branches (John 15:1–5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 11:17–24 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ).
