How does faith relate to baptism and the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the sole requirement for both baptism and the Lord's Supper, as both ordinances represent one's belief in Christ.

The requirement for both baptism and the Lord's Supper is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith is essential because both ordinances are expressions of a believer's commitment to Jesus and acknowledgment of His saving work. As stated in Scripture, 'whosoever believeth and is baptized shall be saved,' indicating that belief precedes baptism, which is an external sign of internal faith. Similarly, partaking in the Lord's Supper necessitates a discerning faith, as one must recognize and embrace the significance of Christ's body and blood. Without faith, these practices lose their meaning and purpose.
