Sacraments

Holy Orders

Jesus is the Primordial Sacrament of the Father. By being the "Primordial Sacrament", Jesus Chriast is much more than simply the originator of the Sacraments. He is at once the SOURCE, the PRIMARY AGENT and the GOAL of all sacramental sctivity.

As SOURCE, Christ is the one in whom all the sacraments are rooted and from whom they derive their efficacy.

As PRIMARY AGENT, he is the one who, through the actions and words of the minister celebrating the various sacraments, baptizes, confirms, forgives, and reconciles, heals, offers himself in sacrifice, binds in faithful love and consecrates for service.

As Goal of all sacraments, Christ is the perfection toward which our life on earth tends.

Baptists take communion and are baptized upon confession of faith. Those are the only two that Baptists use.

The sacraments are a visible sign of the invisible working of the Holy Spirit. For example, in Baptism, the pouring of water on a child's head is the visible sign of the washing away of sin, which is invisible.

While the priest or deacon witness the matrimony, in the Western Church (i.e. Roman Catholics), the minister of the Sacrament of marriage is the couple themselves. They do so by their mutual consent.

In the East however, due to the different development of the theology of matrimony, the presiding priest or bishop is the minister of the sacrament.

All covenants should be made before conformation. The ordinance of confirmation is to confirm a person a member of the church, at which service a blessing is pronounced upon the person as dictated by the Holy Spirit.

In some churches a confirmation may be referred to as a sacrament and may be acceptable to the Lord as such.

The Eucharist is the central worship of Catholicism.

The Last Supper is the final meal that, according to Christian belief, Jesus shared with His Apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. The Last Supper provides the scriptural basis for the Eucharist, also known as "communion" or "the Lord's Supper". The three Synoptic Gospels and the First Epistle to the Corinthians include the account of the institution of the Eucharist (and a new covenant) in which Jesus takes bread, breaks it and gives it to the disciples, saying: "This is my body which is given for you"

The sacrament of Confirmation is important before you get other sacraments like Matrimony of Holy Orders.

Baptism is giving to a baby, Confirmation is given to an adult and they accept whether to want to stay in the Catholic faith or not.

Actually all sacraments are equally significant. But you can consider 'Baptism' as the most significant because without receiving this sacrament you are not entitled to receive other sacraments.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or "Mormon". We believe that when we take the sacrament we are renewing the covenants we made with God at baptism. A covenant is a two way promise. We promise that we will do our best to keep God's commandments and he agrees to always be with us, so taking the sacrament helps me to check my behavior weekly to see how I have done and where I need to do better. It also serves as a reminder that I am not alone and that he is helping me even though I cannot see him.

You can tell your neighbors, colleagues, and any one about Jesus.

the Church is the fundamental sacrament of Jesus because it is the symbol or the visible presence of God's will to humanity.

Baptism - normally a priest or deacon. In an emergency anybody.

Confirmation - normally a bishop. With permission, a priest.

Reconciliation - priest

Eucharist - the priest consecrates, deacons and extraordinary ministers can distribute.

They are called a Catechumen.

Judaism recognizes all sacred books as being sacred to the people of whose faith they belong. As such, Judaism does not advocate book-burning or blacklisting of texts it fundamentally disagrees with, including holy texts promoting idolatry. However, Judaism recognizes only the Tanakh as being sacred for Jews.

For more information on the Tanakh and Jewish Holy Books in general, see the Related Question below.

Baptizing doesn't really make you clean it just symbolizes what JESUS did for us by taking away our sins. You know when you take a shower? and your hair and body get free of dirt? Well that's kinda like being baptized. the dirt is our sins. so i hope this answer didn't confuse you! i also hope this answered your question! GOD ROX!

Baptism and the Lord's Supper

The sacrament of Penance (Confession) cleanses us, so does Annointing of the Sick as well. Also, baptism in a way cleanses us too since it removes our original sin but it is not listed as a sacrament of healing.

The celebration of the sacrament includes the following principal elements: the "priests of the Church" - in silence - lay hands on the sick; they pray over them in the faith of the Church - this is the epiclesis proper to this sacrament; they then anoint them with oil blessed, if possible, by the bishop.

No. A deacon can perform baptisms and assist at marriages and distribute Holy Communion. However, a deacon cannot perform a marriage or consecrate the Eucharist. He also cannot perform the sacraments of Confession, Confirmation, Holy Orders, or Anointing of the Sick, although he may be present for Confirmations. A priest must do the rest of these duties.
