208. From this may appear what is meant by the Lord's words in Mark (xvi. 16), "He that believeth and has been baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be condemned;" he that believes signifies him who acknowledges the Lord, and receives from Him Divine Truths through the Word: and he who has been baptized, signifies him who through these truths is being regenerated by the Lord.
