Answer: Baptism is a sacrament of the New Testament, wherein Christ has ordained the washing with water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost₁, to be a sign and seal of ingrafting into himself₂, of remission of sins by his blood₃, and regeneration by his Spirit₄; of adoption₅, and resurrection unto everlasting life₆; and whereby the parties baptized are solemnly admitted into the visible church₇, and enter into an open and professed engagement to be wholly and only the Lord’s.₈
