What is Baptism?
Baptism is a sacrament.
A sacrament is a holy ordinance instituted by Jesus Christ [Matt. 28:19, 26:26-28; Mk. 14:22-25; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Cor. 1:22-26] wherein, by sensible signs, Christ, and the benefits of the new covenant, are represented, sealed, and applied to believers. [Gal. 3:27; 1 Cor. 10:16-17]

In the New Testament, Jesus instituted two sacraments; baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

Baptism is the washing with water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit [Matthew 28:19].  It is a visible symbol which signifies and seals our ingrafting into Christ, and partaking of the benefits of the covenant of grace, and our engagement to be the Lord’s.  [WSC Q. 92 – 94]

 

 
To Whom is Baptism to be Administered?
Baptism is not to be administered to anybody that are out of the visible church. It is only for the people who have repented their sins and profess their faith in Christ alone and obedience to him [Acts 2:41, 8:12, 36, 38, 18:8]. Also, the infants of such as are members of the visible church are to be baptized [Genesis 17:7, 17:9-11; Acts 2:38-39, 16:32-33; Col. 2:11-12].
