Baptism and Holy Communion.
But, Lutherans are not dogmatic about the number of sacraments. A sacrament is a rite, commanded by God Himself, in which He makes Himself especially present. It is taught that Holy Baptism an Holy Communion are sacraments. Often, Confession and Absolution is referred to as the "third sacrament." The other four rites ( confirmation, marriage, holy orders, anointing of the sick) are viewed as sacramental in nature, while not necessarily, or so clearly definable as, sacraments.

When was the Lutheran church found?
The Lutheran Church shares a history with the historic churches organized by Jesus' first followers. In about 1000 a.d., that church split into two factions, the western Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox family of churches. The Lutheran Church comes from a later dispute within the western church in the 1500's. Most "Protestant" churches arose shortly after, using the new disunity as headway. The exception is the Anglican Reformation, which occurred semi-simultaneously to and separately from the Lutheran Reformation. Several "Protestant" churches also arose from the Anglican Reformation. The Lutheran Church claims roots with the followers of Jesus. This means it was likely founded around 25-30 AD and split off into two different churches in 1000 AD.
