Which is connected with faith, repentance, and confession of faith?

• A. Confirmation
• B. Baptism
• C. Communion
• D. Footwashing

Answer: (B)

Baptism is the rite that brings together belief, turning away from sin, and publicly declaring faith. In this view, faith is what you trust in Christ for salvation, repentance is the turning from old ways and sins, and confession of faith is the spoken declaration that you belong to Jesus. Baptism serves as the outward sign of that inward change: a believer steps into the water as a public profession of faith, symbolizing cleansing from sin and dying to the old self, then rising to new life in Christ. It ties the inner decision to an observable act, marking the believer’s entrance into the community of faith.

The other rites have different emphases. Confirmation is more about affirming vows already made, Communion commemorates Christ’s sacrifice, and footwashing emphasizes servanthood and humility. But baptism uniquely embodies faith, repentance, and confession in one public act.
