Ordinance (Christianity)
Ordinance
is a
Protestant
Christian
term for
baptism
,
communion
and other
religious rituals
. Some Protestants, such as
Baptists
,
Churches of Christ
,
Christian Churches/Churches of Christ
,
Disciples of Christ
, and
Mennonites
, do not call them "
sacraments
" because they believe these rituals are outward expressions of faith, rather than impartations of God's grace.
