We believe that Christian baptism is [a] the believer’s immersion in water; [b] into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost; [c] to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem our faith in the crucified, buried and risen Savior, with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life; [d] that in scriptural order it [baptism] precedes the privileges of church membership and is the public recognition of the Lordship of Jesus Christ; [e] the Lord’s Supper is a memorial service in which the elements of bread and wine remind us of the love of God in Christ Jesus, “Who spared not His own Son but delivered Him up for us all;” and that this ordinance is to be observed in anticipation of His coming and preceded always by solemn self-examination.
