- Question 100.
- What is Baptism?
- Answer:
- Baptism is an holy ordinance, wherein the washing with water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, signifies our ingrafting into Christ and partaking of the benefits of the covenant of grace, and our engagement to be the Lord's.
( Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3-5; Colossians 2:12; Galatians 3:27 )- Question 101.
- To whom is Baptism to be administered?
- Answer:
- Baptism is to be administered to all those who actually profess repentance towards God, faith in, and obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ; and to none other.
( Acts 2:38; Matthew 3:6; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12,36; Acts 10:47,48 )- Question 102.
- Are the infants of such as are professing believers to be baptized?
- Answer:
- The infants of such as are professing believers are not to be baptized; because there is neither command nor example in the Holy Scriptures, or certain consequence from them, to baptize such.
- Question 103.
- How is Baptism rightly administered?
- Answer:
- Baptism is rightly administered by immersion, or dipping the whole body of the person in water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

- What is the duty of those who are rightly baptized?
- Answer:
- It is the duty of those who are rightly baptized to give up (join) themselves to some visible and orderly church of Jesus Christ, that they may walk in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
