1689 Baptist Confession 27.1

Chapter 27 — Of the Communion of Saints

Section 1. All saints that are united to Jesus Christ, their head, by his Spirit, and by faith, although they are not made thereby one person with him, have fellowship in his graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory; and, being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other\'s gifts and graces, and are obliged to the performance of such duties, public and private, in an orderly way, as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the inward and outward man.
