What is the central sacrament in most forms of Christianity?

Question

PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

In Catholicism, there isn't really a "central sacrament."

They're all important -- though few Catholics receive all of them.

Baptism, the Eucharist, reconciliaton, and (in most cases) anointing of the sick (commonly known as the "last rites") are received by all Catholics.

Matrimony, Holy Orders, and confirmation are not necessarily received by all Catholics.

Answer 2

Central Sacrament

Answer 3

The Lord's Supper also known as "The Lord's Table," the "Eucharist," and "Communion" is the central sacrament of the Church for most Protestant or Evangelical churches. These churches recognize only two sacraments: Baptism (which marks the individual's entry into the visible church) and the Lor'd Table, which commemorates Christ's sacrificial death and symbolizes the unity of the church. The Roman Catholic church and the Greek Orthodox church would place Baptism as the central sacrament (they recognize 7 sacraments in all) becuase they believe that the rite of baptism imparts salvation. A person who is not baptised (according to them) is not part of the Church and is in danger of hellfire. Becuase unbaptised individuals are not part of the church, they have no right to partake of Holy Communion (the Eucharist), which is a sacrament meant for Christians only. Most Protestants or Evangelicals agree that the Lord's Table is for Christians only. Only a very small minority (and this in recent years) practice "open Communion" which means that they allow outsiders (beleivers or not) to partake of the elements of the Lord's Table (the Bread and "wine").

Hope this helps you.

Answer 4

In manmade forms of Christianity baptism is central, though many such churches don't consider it a sacrament. Even those sects that do consider it a sacrament have rejected most of the seven sacraments instituted by Christ, so whatever is left kind of has to be central.

In original Christianity, Catholicism, baptism is even more important since the Catholic Church accepts the biblical teaching that baptism is essential for salvation. This is one of many biblical truths that denominational churches typically reject. In the day to day life of God's Church however, the Eucharist is central. It is the principal act of Christian worship, the only act of worship instituted by and commanded by Christ Himself. It is in fact God in the flesh, made physically present to us. Nothing is more central than that.
