Question 98

How do Baptism and the Lord's Supper become effectual means of salvation?

Scripture

  1. 1 Peter 3:21 [1]
    Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (ESV)
  2. 1 Corinthians 3:6–7 [1]
    I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. (ESV)
  3. 1 Corinthians 12:13 [1]
    For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. (ESV)
