The only rites are baptism and communion but the gifts are varied amongst the believers as 1 Corinthians 12 teaches about the gifts of the spirit. There are differences of adminstration but the same Lord and there are diversities of operations: to one the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge, to another faith, to another healing, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another diverse kinds of tongues and to anther the interpretation of tongues. Read 1 Cor. 12:4-11.

Yes, a catechumenate is a period of Christian initiation in which individuals, known as catechumens, receive instruction in the faith and prepare for baptism. This process typically includes learning about Christian beliefs, participating in community worship, and developing a deeper spiritual life. The catechumenate can vary in length and is often marked by specific rites and milestones leading up to the sacrament of baptism.
