What are the spiritual graces signified in baptism?
1) Ingrafting into Christ
2) Remission of sins
3) Regeneration
4) Adoption
5) Resurrection
6) All of the above
7) None of the above
I understand the last part about it being a sign "whereby the parties baptized are solemnly admitted into the visible church, and enter into an open and professed engagement to be wholly and only the Lord’s."
Q. 163. What are the parts of a sacrament?
A. The parts of the sacrament are two; the one an outward and sensible sign, used according to Christ’s own appointment; the other an inward and spiritual grace thereby signified.[1056]
Q. 165. What is baptism?
A. Baptism is a sacrament of the New Testament, wherein Christ hath ordained the washing with water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,[1058] to be a sign and seal of 1) ingrafting into himself,[1059] 2) of remission of sins by his blood,[1060] and 3) regeneration by his Spirit;[1061] of 4) adoption,[1062] and 5) resurrection unto everlasting life;[1063] and whereby the parties baptized are solemnly admitted into the visible church,[1064] and enter into an open and professed engagement to be wholly and only the Lord’s.[1065]
