What are the sacraments or ordinances?
The sacraments or
ordinances given by God and instituted by Christ, namely baptism and the Lord's
Supper, are visible signs and seals that we are bound together as a community
of faith by his death and resurrection. By our use of them the Holy Spirit more
fully declares and seals the promises of the gospel to us.

6:4
Pea ko e me‘a ‘i
hotau papitaiso ki he‘ene pekia, pea tā na‘a tau kaungā telio mo ia; koe‘uhi,
hangē na‘e fokotu‘u ‘a Kalaisi mei he pekia ‘e he ‘Afio ‘a e Tamai, pehē ke
fai‘aki ‘e kitautolu foki ha mo‘ui ‘oku fo‘ou hono anga.
LUKE 22:19-20
Na‘a ne to‘o foki
ha fo‘i mā, ‘o ne fakafeta‘i, mo ne pakipaki ‘o ‘ange kiate kinautolu, ‘o ne
pehē, Ko hoku sino ‘eni, ‘a ia ‘oku foaki koe‘uhi ko kimoutolu: mou fai ‘eni
mōku fakamanatu. Na‘a ne to‘o pehē foki ‘a e ipu, hili ‘a e ‘ohomohe, ‘o ne
pehē, Ko e ipu ni ko e fuakava fo‘ou ia ‘oku fai‘aki hoku toto, ‘a ia ‘oku
lilingi koe‘uhi ko kimoutolu.
ROMANS
6:4
We were buried therefore with him by
baptism into death, in order
that, just as Christ was raised from the
dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
LUKE
22:19-20
And he took bread, and when he had given
thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body,
which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And
likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for
you is the new covenant in my blood.”
Commentary - TIMOTHY KELLER
There
are two sacraments or ordinances. There's baptism, which is once
for all. And there's the Lord's Supper, which is ongoing and regular. We call
both of them ordinances because Jesus
Christ commands us to do them. But we call them sacraments because through them God's blessing and grace come to us
in unique ways. They are not just personal, individual experiences. We are
members of a community, and baptism and the Lord's Supper show that we belong
to that community, the covenant community, the people who belong to Jesus. And
that's the reason why these are actually like boundary markers. The Westminster
Confession says they "put a visible
difference between those that belong to the church and the rest of the
world."
‘Oku
