There are only two rituals or sacraments for Christians in the New Testament: one is water baptism and the other is the Lord's supper or communion. Both depict the Lord's death.
Baptism is to be performed once after conversion and is a figure of the Lord's burial and resurrection, thus a Christian confesses to be dead to the world and to self, and alive unto God.
Romans 6:3-4 "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
The communion is repeated on a regular basis by a local church (a group of Christians, gathering in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ) and is meant to remind the believers that they live by faith in the one who died for them.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 "For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come".
The Christian rituals have no merit in and of themselves, but only as acts of obedience to, and worship of God carried out sincerely from the heart of a true believer. It is better not to participate in it at all, then to do so irreverently, superficially or hypocritically.
1 Corinthians 11:29-30 "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep [dead]."
