Rāzā (sacraments)

rdfs:comment

The Rāzā’, or sacraments, are the sacred mysteries (rites) of the Mirian Church that are conveyed by the Rabbaney (Mirian teachers) unto their talmiydā’ (students; devotees). These mysteries are divided into two categories: (1) Mysteries ordained by Yešwa‘ Mašyaḥ Himself in the Gospels called "Gospel Sacraments," and (2) mysteries not ordained by Yešwa‘, called "Pastoral Sacraments," but recognized elsewhere in the New Testament. Unlike other liturgical Christian traditions such as the Assyrian Church of the East, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism, Mirianism has no "Holy Orders" sacrament, the sacramentalized ordinations of bishops (episcupus / qayomey) and other pastoral ministers. Rather, the confirmation of ministers is subsumed under the sacrament

The Rāzā’, or sacraments, are the sacred mysteries (rites) of the Mirian Church that are conveyed by the Rabbaney (Mirian teachers) unto their talmiydā’ (students; devotees). These mysteries are divided into two categories: (1) Mysteries ordained by Yešwa‘ Mašyaḥ Himself in the Gospels called "Gospel Sacraments," and (2) mysteries not ordained by Yešwa‘, called "Pastoral Sacraments," but recognized elsewhere in the New Testament. Unlike other liturgical Christian traditions such as the Assyrian Church of the East, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism, Mirianism has no "Holy Orders" sacrament, the sacramentalized ordinations of bishops (episcupus / qayomey) and other pastoral ministers. Rather, the confirmation of ministers is subsumed under the sacrament of Nizruwta’(Chrismation), albeit with an expanded version of the liturgical form. All the sacraments are presided over by the Rabbaney, though they are not considered to be "superior in Christ-hood" to laymen. They are entrusted and bona fide to teach the way of the only Rabbi (Matt. 23:8), and High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-15), Yešwa‘ Mašyaḥ. Thus, the sacraments are conducted by a representative of the Rabbanate; the representative is thus called a Rabban, or Right Reverend. There are seven Sacraments: Blessing of New Born Infants, Chrismation, Baptism, Eucharistic Divine Liturgy, Reconciliation, Holy Matrimony, and Holy Unction. These traditional sacraments are to be performed, with absolute mindfulness of their meanings, by both the giver (Rabban) and the taker (talmiyd).
