	Sacrament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some groups, such as Anglicans and Old-Catholics, consider the two dominical sacraments of the Gospel, Baptism and the Eucharist, to be the "precepted, primary, and principal sacraments ordained for our salvation," and consider the other five sacramental rites to be "lesser sacraments" that are derivative of these two.
		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.
		The Salvation Army does not practice formal sacraments for a variety of reasons, including a belief that it is better to concentrate on the reality behind the symbols; however, it does not forbid its members from receiving sacraments in other denominations [1].

	Sacrament (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Mormonism, the Sacrament is the Lord's Supper, in which participants eat bread and drink wine (or water, in the case of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since the late 1800s).
		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.
		To Mormons, the Sacrament is viewed as a renewal of the covenant made at baptism.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mormonism
		Mormonism's first foreign mission was opened in the summer of 1837, when Heber C. Kimball and Orson Hyde, two of the "twelve apostles of the Church", were sent with other elders to England for that purpose.
		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.
		The violation by the Mormons of the monogamous law of Christianity and of the United States was brought to the attention of Congress, which prohibited under penalty of fine and imprisonment the perpetuation of the anti-Christian practice, refusing, however, to make the prohibition retroactive.

		Mormonism 101 explains that "the earliest Mormons used bread and wine for the Sacrament." But later, the use of wine was changed to water.
		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.

		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.

		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.
		While this is true, as with many "unwritten rules," enforcement varies and is mostly "social." The author's experience in her ward was having a guest asked by the bishop's counselor to experience sacrament meeting from the foyer because she was in pants.

		After completion of life on Earth, Mormons believe that the spiritual body separates from the physical one and enters the Spirit World.
		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.
		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.

		When I was eight years old, I was baptized as a Mormon male member on December 5, 1970 and was confirmed on December 6, 1970.

		While I still believed in the core of Mormonism, I had around me people who were always wondering why there were certain things believed in, but kind of ridiculous in their opinion.

		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.
		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.
		Mormon doctrine teaches that God was once a man. A frequently quoted statement by Lorenzo Snow, “As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become” is widely known by all Mormons.

		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.
		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.

	Can't keep just one foot in Mormonism
		By way of history, I go to sacrament meeting with my family and then promptly leave once it is over.
		Sacrament is much more impersonal and no one has the chance to get all buddy buddy with you like they can in the smaller meetings.
		Sit close to the door in the back, and leave during the last song before the prayer is said while there is noise and commotion and everyone is finally elated that sacrament is ended.

		It is fair to say also that some Mormon defenders have also done equal disservice to the LDS Church by adopting the same method in reverse: presenting carefully chosen evidence that shows only the positive side of Mormonism, while ignoring or denying the existence of contrary evidence.
		The Tanners claim that Mormon temple ordinances are the Item Y that Joseph Smith copied from the Item X of Masonry: "We feel that there is only one logical explanation for the many parallels between the temple ceremony and Masonry, and that is that Joseph Smith borrowed from the Masons" (page 490).
