The Ordinances: Baptism, Foot-Washing, and Lord’s-Supper

Herbert Kiesler

Abstract

Although performed in diff erent ways, baptism, foot washing, and the Lord’s Sup per are three of the most ancient and impor tant Christian ordinances, totally grounded in New Testament practice and teaching. Bap tism is the door to the church, a symbol of renunciation of the old life and the adoption of a new life in Christ (Rom. 6:4). Foot washing points to humility and cleansing (. 13:10-16). Participation in the bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper remembers Christ’s broken body and spilt blood while looking forward to the Second Coming (Matt. 26:28; 1 Cor. 11:23-26).
