How many ordinances are there in a Baptist church?
Two, baptism and communion (commonly referred to as the Lord's Supper.) Both are seen as ordinances, not sacraments. Baptism is for professing believers, not infants. It is nearly always a one time event and by immersion. Communion can be either "open" or "closed", depending on the particular church. Open simply means that the communion, when observed, is available to all who have experienced 'believer's baptism", closed communion is limited to that church's congregation.
Why are nonmembers not allowed to take communion in a Lutheran church?
Excluding nonmembers from communion is not a policy of the Lutheran church as a whole. Rather, it may be the policy of a specific church or of a particular denomination. Unlike Catholicism, the Lutheran church does not have one central body. Instead, it is composed of a number of different divisions. In the US, there are three primary groups: the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) Lutheran Church-- Missouri Synod (LCMS or just Missouri Synod), and Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS or Wisconsin Synod). Each group has its own policy on communion. Missouri and Wisconsin Synods both practice closed communion; only members can take communion. The ELCA, however, practices open communion, where anyone can. Of course, individual churches may choose to follow a different procedure from that of the denomination to which they belong, so it is possible for an ELCA church to have closed communion.

What is open communion in a Lutheran church?
It means that admission to the altar for communion is not solely for members of that particular synod or congregation. A Lutheran Church with an open Communion policy requires only that the partaker is baptized, has made confession of sins, is repentant, acknowledges the 'real presence' in the sacrament and upholds the general tenents of Biblical Chistianity; but the partaker does not have to belong to that congregation's particular political/leadership affiliation. Churches with close or "closed" Communion policies require complete and total doctrinal agreement amongst partakers. So, often one must be a member of the congregation or Synod to be admitted to the altar for communion.
