The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith 

Chapter 28 - Baptism and The Lord’s Supper

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances of positive and sovereign institution. They are appointed by the Lord Jesus the only lawgiver and are to be continued in His church to the end of the age.

These holy appointments are to be administered only by those who are qualified and called to administer them, according to the commission of Christ.

Q93. What are the outward means whereby Christ communicates to us the benefits of redemption?
A. The outward and ordinary means whereby Christ communicates to us the benefits of redemption are His ordinances, especially the word, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and prayer; all which means are made effectual to the elect for salvation.

Q96. How do baptism and the Lord’s Supper become effectual means of salvation?
A. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper become effectual means of salvation, not for any virtue in them, or in him that does administer them, but only by the blessing of Christ,  and the working of the Spirit in those that by faith receive them.
