- 1.2.2 - Sacraments
- Introduction
- Sacrament: An outward act with an inner spiritual meaning.
- RCC: 7 Sacraments: baptism, eucharist, confirmation, reconciliation, marriage, holy orders and anointing of the sick
- Orthodox: sometimes call them 'holy mysteries'
- Protestant (inc CofE): recognise only 2 sacraments (Sacraments of the Gospel) which were brought into existence by Jesus - baptism and the Eucharist
- Some denominations (Baptists) prefer to call the 2 sacraments ordinances
- The Eucharist
- The importance of the Eucharist
- Important as reminds them of J's sacrifice and the salvation
- Brings C's closer to other members of C community
- As a ritual, means believer is obeying his command and shared across the centuries
- May feel better prepared to deal with events in their lives
- RCC: believe in transubstantiation - bread and wine turn into Jesus' body and blood. RCC's say J has 'a real presence' during mass'
- Anglicans: J b to be spiritually present in bread and wine, as his sacrifice is celebrated - consubstantiation
- The importance of the Eucharist
- Baptism
- Symbolises admission into C church. Water on head symbolises purification and clear from sin
- RCC/Orthodox/CofE: infant baptism (Christening). Receive God's blessing and parents promise to raise baby as a Christian
- Baptist/Pentecostal: must be baptised as adults to make conscious decision
- Grace of God received because of expression of faith. Key Points to support their view: adult baptism of J and others and belief person needs to be a believer before baptised
- Baptism = way opened up for C to be member of community
