Baptists recognize only two ordinances—believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper (communion). They do not recognize them as sacraments because of historic Baptist theology that no saving grace is conveyed by either and that original sin is not washed away in baptism. Another reason for not calling them sacraments is the Baptist belief that they are symbols rather than sacraments. When viewed as an ordinance, baptism is testimony to the recipient's faith in the final resurrection of the dead. It is an outward sign, but not a seal. Being a church ordinance makes it a prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and to the Lord's Supper.

  • Baptists recognize only two ordinances—believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper (communion). They do not recognize them as sacraments because of historic Baptist theology that no saving grace is conveyed by either and that original sin is not washed away in baptism. Another reason for not calling them sacraments is the Baptist belief that they are symbols rather than sacraments. When viewed as an ordinance, baptism is testimony to the recipient's faith in the final resurrection of the dead. It is an outward sign, but not a seal. Being a church ordinance makes it a prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and to the Lord's Supper. This differs from Reformed and Catholic theology. Baptists do not believe that either baptism or the Lord's Supper confers or mediates grace on those who receive it. Some Primitive Baptists and Free Will Baptists also practice foot washing as a third ordinance.
