Justin Martyr and Irenaeus believed that people are
regenerated and born again when they are baptized, through this regeneration
follows their choice to repent of sin . . . Early church theologians did not
attribute magical powers to the sacraments but viewed them as instruments
through which the triune God works according to his Word. (Joel R. Beeke and Paul
M. Smalley, Reformed Systematic Theology, 4 vols. [Wheaton, Ill.:
Crossway, 2024], 4:457)
