WLC 176: Wherein do the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper agree?

Answer: The sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper agree, in that the author of both is God1; the spiritual part of both is Christ2 and his benefits; both are seals of the same covenant3, are to be dispensed by ministers of the gospel, and by none other4; and to be continued in the church of Christ until his second coming5.
