Baptism as defined by the Westminster Confession of Faith:

Baptism is a sacrament of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, not only for the solemn admission of the party baptized into the visible Church, but also to be unto him a sign and seal of the covenant of grace, or his ingrafting into Christ, of regeneration, of remission of sins, and of his giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to walk in newness of life: which sacrament is, by Christ’s own appointment, to be continued in his Church until the end of the world.

So this brings up the question should Christian Churches actively resist the LDS practice of baptism for the dead? The Catholic Church thinks so. Mormon Coffee » Catholic Parish Registers Off-Limits to LDS Church

On another topic, I have finished Capter 11 of the Institutes. The next devotion will come from Chapter 12 (Christ had to Become Man in Order to Fulfill the Office of Mediator).
