Reformed churches teach that baptism is a sign and seal
of regeneration. As such, it is a means of grace to be received by faith. However,
some Reformed divines have taught that God ordinarily regenerates the elect
offspring of believers when they are baptized—not by any virtue residing in or
communicated through baptism but on account of the covenant of grace. The
Westminster Confession of Faith (28.6) left the timing of regeneration open . .
