| | Sacrament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A sacrament is a Christian rite that mediates divine grace—a holy mystery. | | | The seven sacraments accepted by Roman Catholicism are generally also accepted by Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy, as well, but the latter traditions do not limit the number of sacraments to seven, holding that anything the Church does as Church is in some sense sacramental. | | | In addition to these seven, some Christian groups (Anabaptist and Brethren groups, in particular) consider foot washing to be a sacrament (see Gospel of John 13:14), and a few Christian groups (such as the Polish National Catholic Church of America) have argued that the hearing of the Gospel should be considered a sacrament. |

| | Sacrament (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | To Mormons, the Sacrament is viewed as a renewal of the covenant made at baptism. | | | The prayer recited for the bread is found in the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants. | | | In latter-day saint Sacrament meetings, the Sacrament is passed to members of the congregation after being blessed by a priest or member of the higher Melchizidek Priesthood. |

| | Furthermore, Mormonism teaches that God is only one of many gods in existence. | | | Mormonism has redefined who God is and redefined whom Jesus says. | | | What I am saying is that Mormonism is false and your faith has been put in a false god and a false church. |

| | Mormons believe that all deceased beings, dwelling as spirits and awaiting the time of resurrection and judgement, will be given the opportunity to hear and accept the message of the Gospel; whereas ordinary baptisms take place in normal church houses, baptisms for the dead are only performed in the temples. | | | It is here where the person is "judged" and it is determined if he or she is worthy to live with God the Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, for all eternity. | | | The practice of polygamy was one important doctrine that placed the early LDS Church in hightension with the broader culture. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mormonism |
| | It is of importance to bear in mind that the opposition to the Mormons in the localities where they settled is, from the contradictory and divergent statements made by the Latter-Day Saints and the neighbours not of their belief, difficult of explanation. | | | Mormonism announces as one of its principal aims the preparation of a people for the coming of the Lord; a people who will build the New Jerusalem, and there await His coming. | | | According to Smith and Cowdery, the Aaronic priesthood gave them authority to preach faith and repentance, to baptize by immersion for the remission of sins, and to administer the sacrament of the Lord's Supper; the priesthood of Melchisedech empowered them to lay on hands and bestow the Holy Ghost. |

| | Brigham Young identifies God the Father as Adam, and Mormons teach that is was not through the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit but through the physical union of this immortal Adam-God and the mortal Virgin Mary that God the Son, "Jehovah" or Jesus Christ, was born in the flesh. | | | The subject of things doesn’t change the fact that the Mormons consider one of the gods as the main one, but the fact that their god is limited and is not the unique. | | | In 1978, however, Mormon Church president Spencer Kimball announced that he had received a new revelation, and that the Mormon Church was now free to ordain blacks. |

| | Mormonism is an edifice built atop another religion, Christianity. | | | The Mormons are the only mainstream church to engage in retroactive, posthumous baptisms, in order that ancestors may ascend to heaven. | | | Contrary to popular belief, the Mormon faith is not all that much weirder than any of its mainstream counterparts. |

| | The Mormon Church claims to be the fastest growing church in the world. | | | The youth who "bless" the sacrament are called "priests" and not "teachers." The priests are ages 16-17 or until they are ordained into the next priesthood level of Elder. | | | However, the most important reason for writing this letter is that it is the "severing of the umbilical cord" or attachment to the Mormon Church. |

| | Mormonism 201: Chapter 13 Communion and Baptism |
| | The goal of Mormonism 101's chapter 13 was to demonstrate the differences between Christian and LDS teaching on communion and baptism. | | | For instance, Mormonism 101 explains the Christian position of baptism as "water baptism is a vital part of the Christian practice, but a person receives salvation through faith alone."21 Since the Catholic and Orthodox churches would disagree, Hickenbotham objects. | | | However, the purpose of Mormonism 101 was not to be a theological nor apologetic treatise on the subject. |

| | The foundation of Mormonism needs to be torn away first by showing discrepancies in the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants, as well as in the re-writing of LDS history. | | | The God of Mormonism is opposite the God of the Bible. | | | Mormons need to be dealt with at their level using their own scriptures, which include the KJV Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. |

| | Mormon rites or ordinances are processes of spiritual rebirth in which the powers of godliness are manifest. | | | Although Catholicism and Orthodoxy understand celibacy to be a spiritual ideal, marriage is a grace-giving Sacrament that symbolizes the bond between Christ and the Church. | | | It is a community of salvation where the Gospel is preached and the sacraments received. |

| | Some Christian Fundamentalist authors, particularly those from the counter-cult movement, feel that differences between Mormonism and traditional Christianity are so great that the LDS church should be considered a non-Christian cult. | | | The LDS, and most other Mormons denominations, recognize four source texts as divinely inspired and authoritative scripture. | | | This order is composed of deacons who pass the Sacrament, teachers who prepare the sacrament and priests who administer the blessing of the Sacrament. |

| | The prayer of absolution the priest prays while administering the sacrament says, "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." It is in God's name the priest forgives, not in his own name. | | | When Catholics receive the sacrament of penance, we have the opportunity not only to be forgiven, but to receive advice from the priest; kind and wise counsel as to how to do better in the future, living the Christian life. | | | The sacrament of Reconciliation as the means of obtaining forgiveness for sin was the first thing Our Lord established after His resurrection, in fact on the very same day. |
