Some churches have vastly more ritual practices than others, but here are the basics of all Christianity:

Baptism:

Matthew 3 originally and still a symbol of repentance

Romans 6:3-5 baptism is the symbol of joining into Jesus - we join into Jesus through the repentance of our sins.

Communion:

1. Corinthians 11:23-25 Paul recounts how Jesus set the communion - the bread and the wine as a representatives of the covenant and reminders for the believers of His blood sacrifice for their sins.

Anointing the sick - James 5:14-15

Marriage Eph.5:25-33 one man one woman, as symbol of Christ and church universal.

For lifetime - Matthew 19:3-9
