One Lord, One Faith

Each time we gather at the baptismal font, we rejoice that God welcomes another person into fellowship with Christ. In one baptism, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are united to Jesus Christ in his death and resurrection. In one baptism we are also united to our brothers and sisters in faith around the world. The waters of baptism do not belong to the Presbyterian Church or to any particular church. They belong to God alone, and as we pass through these waters we are incorporated into the one body of Christ. It is our new life in Christ that we Presbyterians are called to celebrate, deepen, and share with the world. Let us join together, brothers and sisters, to proclaim the gospel of God's saving love in Jesus Christ.

Beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God; look forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. [Jude 20-21]
