SD 28.5
Savoy Declaration
28.5. Of the Sacraments
The Sacraments of the Old Testament, in regard of the spiritual things thereby signified and exhibited, were for substance the same with those of the New.
Proof texts
- 1 Cor. 10:1, 2, 3, 4 — [1] For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, [2] and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, [3] and all ate the same spiritual food, [4] and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.
For discussion
- The Assembly cited 1 Cor. 10:1, 2, 3, 4 in support of this answer. Read it in context — how does it bear on what is claimed here?
- WCF 27.1 treats the same ground. What does it add, and why might it put things differently?
- 1689 28.1 treats the same ground. What does it add, and why might it put things differently?
