### 71. Q. Where does Christ promise that we are washed with his blood and Spirit as surely as we are washed with the water of baptism?

**A**. In the institution of baptism, where he says: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”<sup>1</sup> “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”<sup>2</sup> This promise is repeated when Scripture calls baptism “the washing of regeneration”<sup>3</sup> and the washing away of sins.<sup>4</sup>
