SUMMARY: In the ordinance of baptism, we see a complete departure from the Westminster Confession and Savoy Declaration. Not only does the 1689 move from the word "sacrament," it also removes terminology linking baptism to church admission, and more importantly it removes the concept that baptism is a "sign and seal" of the Covenant of Grace. This strikes at the heart of the theology that has become the foundation of infant baptism in reformed theology for hundreds of years, and leaves us with a baptism of believers only, by immersion.
