General
This is what a Sacrament is.
A Sacred Act
To Wash
These are the 3 ways Baptisms are performed.
Submersion (dunking)
Pouring
Sprinkling
When He was sharing in the Passover meal with His disciples before His betrayal and death.
The Lord's Supper gets its power from this.
Jesus' (God) Word
These are the 2 things needed for ANY Sacrament.
Physical Element
God's Word
This is who can baptize.
Traditionally pastors but in case of an emergency any Christian can baptize.
T/F and Explain
The LCMS recognizes ALL baptisms as valid.
False - if the baptism is not performed by God's Word or God's Word has been changed at all then it is not valid.
He sent His Son to die for our sins.
We are made in His image.
This is how often I should take communion.
As often as it is offered. There is no set ammount.
The Church holds this power when dealing with a persons sins.
The Church has the power to forgive sins and not to forgive them.
You will need to be rebaptized later on in life.
No - We confess there is only one baptism for the remission of our sins
Ephesians 4:5 - One Lord, one faith, one baptism
These are the 3 reasons we should baptize babies.
1. Included in the words "All Nations"
2. Babies are sinful too
3. Holy Spirit is able to work faith even in babies
This is who should NOT be given communion. (5 groups of people)
those not able to examine themselves
Those of different faiths or beliefs
Those that are unrepentant of their sins
Those who will not forgive others
These are the 3 questions we should ask ourselves before taking communion.
I am a sinner and I am sorry.
I do believe in Jesus Christ as my savior
I need help from the Holy Spirit to help me live a worthy life.
This is the benefit of each Sacrament. (Each sacrament has this in common for a benefit)
Forgiveness of our sins.
Besides forgiveness, these are the things that the Holy Spirit gives us through Baptism.
Spiritual Gifts/Fruits of the Spirit
True/False - and Explain.
It is possible for an unbaptized person to gain eternal life.
True - Only unbelief in Jesus as Lord and Savior condemns a person.
This is why taking the Lord's Supper and Confirmation are often paired together. (UGH...Why do I HAVE to go through confirmation)
So that we can learn what we are receiving through the sacrament and receive it in a worthy manner.
Explain how Jesus is our "Passover" meal
Jesus is the perfect sacrifice for us. His blood sacrificed on the cross for us allows for God's judgment to pass us over, so long as we believe in Jesus.
Write down Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
These are the responsibilities of baptismal sponsors.
To pray for the person being baptized.
To help instruct them and grow the persons faith.
To take up the spiritual guidance of the person if for some reason parents are unable
Write down Acts 2:38
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Everyone who eats and drinks this Sacrament also receives forgiveness of sins, life and salvation.
Explain the term, "IN, WITH and UNDER" when we talk about the Lord's Supper
Jesus' body and blood are IN the bread and wine, together WITH the bread and wine and UNDER the bread and wine meaning its there in a special way, undetectable.
