The instrumental cause is the minister who confers the sacrament exteriorly, then if the act exercised by the minister be expressed, together with the invocation of the Holy Trinity, the sacrament is perfected. The effect of this sacrament is the remission of all sin, original and actual; likewise of all punishment which is due for sin.	III. Dipping of the person into the water is not necessary; but Baptism is rightly administered by pouring, or sprinkling water upon the person. IV. Not only those that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto Christ,  but also the infants of one, or both, believing parents, are to be baptized.	2. Those who do actually profess repentance towards God, faith in, and obedience to, our Lord Jesus Christ, are the only proper subjects of this ordinance. 4.
