Ephesians
says there is One Faith. One Lord. One Baptism.
And so we confess that One
Faith, salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We confess
the One Lord, the Lord Jesus, to whom every knee shall bow and every tongue
confess that He is Lord. We confess the One Baptism, baptism in the name of the
Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
This baptism points to the baptism of
the Holy Spirit, who enlivens the heart of every man who confess the one true, apostolic
faith in the one Lord, Jesus Christ.
And we confess One Communion, the
gathering of the saints who give thanks to God for the sacrifice of His only
begotten Son. There is only one Table of the Lord, in which we all partake of
Jesus Christ by faith. We look to Him in His death, burial, resurrection, rule
and return. For in Him, we live and move and have our being. Let us eat with
grateful hearts. Amen.
