Sacraments - In religion and especially in Christianity,
a sacred ceremony. The Roman Catholic, the Greek, and the
official Anglican Churches hold that without the reception
of certain sacraments the believer cannot attain salvation.
Other Churches that they are symbolic only. The Greek and
Roman Catholic Churches recognise seven sacraments; baptism,
confirmation, marriage, penance, ordination, the eucharist
and extreme unction. (embassy)
Sign and a seal of a promise made by God. There are only two
sacraments in Christ's Church today: Baptism and the Lord's
Supper. They correspond to the sacraments in the Church of
the previous dispensation (circumcision and the Pascal Meal,
respectively).(datarat)
