Our relationship with him affects the way we work and relate to others. It is God's Word to man given to man that he might glorify and enjoy Him in this present life and forever more. An invitation must be made to those who are outside. They must be confronted with the reality of the Kingdom of God, and the forgiveness of sins in Christ Jesus. This invitation is given outside the sanctuary, that those who respond might join the congregation in worship.
Baptism is the sacrament of initiation.
It provides a visible, objective mark on it's recipient which allows them to be distinguished form the world. Because of this aspect of the sacrament, it is best applied in the context of the gathered congregation, although this is not required. Teaching of doctrine takes place in both worship and life. We foundationally respond to God's Word in worship. A well-constructed Liturgy provides fundamentally correct and relatively complete responses which men, with their limitations and sinfulness easily neglect.
