講基督教 二十五

兩個最廣為接受的聖禮是洗禮和聖餐（或聖餐), 然而, 大多數基督徒也承認另外五個聖禮: 確認 (正統傳統中的基督教), 聖階(聖職), 懺悔(或懺悔), 對生病和婚姻的恩膏 (見基督教關於婚姻的觀點). 總而言之, 這些是高級教會傳統教會所認可的七個聖禮 - 特別是天主教, 東正教, 東正教, 獨立天主教, 舊天主教, 許多英國國教徒和一些路德教會. 大多數其他教派和傳統通常只肯定洗禮和聖餐作為聖禮, 而一些新教團體, 如貴格會, 拒絕聖餐神學.

The two most widely accepted sacraments are Baptism and the Eucharist (or Holy Communion), however, the majority of Christians also recognize five additional sacraments: Confirmation (Chrismation in the Orthodox tradition), Holy orders (ordination), Penance (or Confession), Anointing of the Sick and Matrimony (see Christian views on marriage). Taken together, these are the Seven Sacraments as recognized by churches in the High Church tradition—notably Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Independent Catholic, Old Catholic, many Anglicans and some Lutherans. Most other denominations and traditions typically affirm only Baptism and Eucharist as sacraments, while some Protestant groups, such as the Quakers, reject sacramental theology.
