Baptism is Your Admission into the Membership of Christ's Church (What is Baptism?)

Topical sermon based on the Westminster Larger Catechism question and answer 165, 'What is baptism?'

In 1 Corinthians 12:13, Paul says what the Spirit expresses in the Sacraments is that all Christians, even opposites, are now one.

Christ commands water baptism as a symbol of the Trinity's ceremonially cleansing of you. Baptism is the sign and seal of Christ's claiming you, and your belonging to Him. Baptism is the sign and seal of your being received and belonging to Christ's Body. Baptism is Your Admission into the Membership of Christ's Church.
