Sacraments are basically from Romanism. There are ordinances of the church. Baptism, and the Lord's supper.

There IS NO SUCH THING in the Bible!
Some churches have TRADITIONS and they call them Sacraments TO CONTROL THEIR PEOPLE!
They do not want their People to Know what the Bible says, and so they SUBSTITUTE THEIR TRADITIONS!
(Matthew 15:7-to-9) Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
(Mat 15:8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
(Mat 15:9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Thanks, RR

I am who I am... do what you want others do unto you ... ... with Him, in Him, through Him and in Holy Spirit, in short spreading the Word.
