Someone made reference that Presbyterians view the sacraments as "that baptism is a sign of justification, while communion is a sign of sanctification"

I haven't heard anyone speak in that manner re: baptism and communion. If I had to guess, I would say it is something relatively new. shrug

Who is that "someone"? It seems like an unusual statement.

Just a poster on another forum. I'm sure she was quoting what she heard or read from a blog. I guess I can ask. She is a Calvinist but not Presbyterian in polity. So, she could have got that quote from almost anyplace.

I suppose it would be the logic of believing in Presumptive Regeneration, yet allowing only members to take the Lord's Supper.

Steve,

I'm not understanding why you are interjecting presumptive regeneration in this?
