The Two Sacraments of the New Church
Baptism
Baptism is a sign that a person is a follower of the Lord God Jesus Christ – that they are a Christian. Baptism can be observed by parents on behalf of a child or as an adult choice. Baptism does not transfer faith or "save" you. Baptism is a promise made between an individual and the Lord. It is often done in public because there is value in recognizing that our efforts to live this way are best achieved with the support and accountability of a community. Baptism is an introduction into the church, not a confirmation that one believes everything of the church. It is a sign of intention to learn about the Lord and His Word and to follow Him.
Holy Supper
The Holy Supper is a sacrament of taking unleavened bread and wine in a holy sphere of worship. It is believed that the Holy Supper is the most holy act of worship, for by means of it a person’s mind is lifted up and introduced into a state of heaven. The Holy Supper is called a gateway to heaven, because it introduces the person who takes it into the presence of the Lord and His angels.
