Actually John, Covenant Theology views baptism and the Lord's Supper as "sacraments" vs "ordinances" within the administration of the Covenant of Grace. Yes, something does happen when a true believer is the recipient, although those holding to "presumptive regeneration" which I find more than odious as do Baptists, believe that even unbelieving 'covenant children' are recipients of God's grace in baptism. nono Anyway, as there are those who hold to Covenant Theology which disagree on various aspects of it there are Baptists who likewise disagree on certain aspects of their view of Covenant Theology. The majority of members here I have estimated to be credo-Baptists or some form of Baptist, thus one or more should be able to answer your question much better than I. giggle
