1689 Baptist Confession 14.1

Chapter 14 — Of Saving Faith

Section 1. The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls, is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word; by which also, and by the administration of baptism and the Lord\'s supper, prayer, and other means appointed of God, it is increased and strengthened.
