Q.176. In what ways do the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s supper coincide?

A. The sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s supper coincide in that God is the author of both,[1] and the spiritual part of both is Christ and his benefits.[2] Both are also seals of the same covenant,[3] are ordinarily to be administered by ministers of the gospel,[4] and are to continue in Christ’s church until the second coming.[5]
