XIV. Of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper ᏗᏓᏬᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏅᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎠᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏱ
We believe that the Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer, into the
name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost; to show forth in a solemn and beautiful
emblem, our faith in the crucified, buried and risen Saviour, with its effect, in our death
to sin and resurrection to a new life; that it is prerequisite to the privileges of a church
relation, and to the Lord's Supper; in which the members of the church by the sacred use
of bread and wine, are to commemorate together the dying love of Christ; preceded
always by solemn self-examination.
