Sealed for God's Work

Baptism
This sacrament, affirmed by our Lord, is administered to all those who have given their lives over to the saving Lordship of Jesus Christ, and their children (see Acts 16:31-33), only if they have not been baptized before in any other Christian church. It is a sign of repentance, of death to an old life and the beginning of a new, and the inclusion into the family of God.

Lord’s Supper
This sacrament, established by our Lord, “proclaims His death until He comes” and is done in order to “remember” who He is and the price He paid for us on the cross. All those who have been baptized are welcome to the table, regardless of denominational background. Sometimes, the elements are passed; other times, congregants are invited to come forward and dip the bread into the cup.

Each of these sacraments are outward signs or “seals” (see Eph. 1:13) of an inward reality; a ceremony in and of itself does not administer grace.
