The Nicene Creed: Second Month—Day 21

I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.

Scripture

There is one body and one Spirit, just as we were called in one hope of our calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:4-6)
