Why do most protestants accept only two ordinances instead of observing seven sacraments?
There are only two which they believe are Biblical, namely Baptism and the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion. These are the only two which they believe meet the criteria for recognition as a sacrament.
Lutheranism is not dogmatic about the number of sacraments. Baptism and Holy Communion are clearly held as sacraments by formal Lutheran teaching. So, Lutherans often refer to the "two sacraments." Traditionally however, Lutherans often refer to "Confession and Abolution" as "the third sacrament" whether or not it is clearly defined in Lutheran symbolical writings as a sacrament. Despite the common moniker "third sacrament," some Lutheran bodies actually consider it a sacrament and some simply use it to acknowledge it's 'divine mandate combined with temporal means' which is part of the definition of a sacrament according to many historic Christian communities.

Why are the Sacraments Necessary?
Catechism of the Catholic Church: 1129 The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation. (Cf. Council of Trent {1547} Denzinger-Schonmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum {1965} 1604) "Sacramental grace" is the grace of the Holy Spirit, given by Christ and proper to each sacrament. The Spirit heals and transforms those who receive him by conforming them to the Son of God. the fruit of the sacramental life is that the Spirit of adoption makes the faithful partakers in the divine nature (Cf.2 Pet 1:4) by uniting them in a living union with the only Son, the Savior.
In other words, the sacraments are the normal way that God gives His transforming grace to His people, without which we cannot be saved.

1114 "Adhering to the teaching of the Holy Scriptures, to the apostolic traditions, and to the consensus . . . of the Fathers," we profess that "the sacraments of the new law were . . . all instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord." (Council of Trent {1547}: Denzinger-Schönmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum {1965} 1600-1601)

Jesus' words and actions during his hidden life and public ministry were already salvific, for they anticipated the power of his Paschal mystery. They announced and prepared what he was going to give the Church when all was accomplished. The mysteries of Christ's life are the foundations of what he would henceforth dispense in the sacraments, through the ministers of his Church, for "what was visible in our Savior has passed over into his mysteries." (St. Leo the Great, Sermo. 74, 2: J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855} 54, 398

The Sacraments of Initiation is the common name within the Roman Catholic Church for the Sacraments Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. There Sacraments are not limited to the Roman Catholic Church though. In the first Sacrament - Baptism, our sins are forgiven and we become children of God, welcomed into the Church, and it is the beginning of our participation in the life of Christ. In Confirmation, the second Sacrament of initiation we are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit and we affirm the vows made for us at our baptism. We enter into our adult life in the Church. The Eucharist (Holy Communion)is the third Sacrament of Initiation. Through it we honor Christs death and sacrifice on the cross. We actually receive Jesus through Holy Communion. It gives us the grace to continue and carry out our lives in the Church and community and help others.
What are the 2 most important sacraments in the episcopal church?
The sacraments of any branch of Christianity are all the same*. There are seven: -Baptism: consists of any ordained minister "forgiving sins" of anyone (usually a baby) by crossing their forehead with holy water and sealing it with oil. Parents usually make this decision for their child to follow Christ and Christianity. Parents will choose Godparents for the child and the congregation pledges to support the child. -Eucharist: commonly known as Communion, when Jesus gave bread and wine. Now, there are small communion crackers given while saying, "The body of Christ, the bread of Heaven" and wine in a chalice while saying, "The blood of Christ, the cup of Salvation." Anyone can give the wine, but you must be ordained to give the bread. When giving communion, usually the priest will wear a chasuble. -Confirmation: this is when a person (after being Baptized) renews their Baptismal vows. There is usually a Confirmation class in 7th or 8th grade. The class learns the basics of being a Christian and their denomination and then takes a test. The "graduates" (pretty much everyone passes) are all Confirmed at the same time by a Bishop. -Ordination: When someone becomes a priest, they need to know virtually everything about their denomination and others in the Christian church. They learn all they can, and then they are ordained by a Bishop. This is their initiation as a priest. -Pentecost/Confession: This consists of either a public gathering to confess your sins (other than the church service) or a single person confessing their more personal sins directly and only to the pope. In the Episcopal church, it is usually in the form of a public gathering. -Unction/Healing:When someone is dying or chronically ill, they will ask a priest to anoint them, or cross their forehead with oil. A prayer may follow it saying something like, "My life is in Your hands now, and it is Your decision whether I live or join You in everlasting life." -Matrimony: Also known as marriage. When a man and a woman decide to live together for the rest of their lives. A man will give the woman a ring and they say vows in a church. The woman will update her last name to match her fiancee's. They become husband and wife. I hope these brief overviews will help you grasp a better understanding of the seven sacraments. *These seven sacraments differ with different denominations.
