The Christian sacraments for Protestants are Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism is the sacrament of initiation into the Christian faith, and it is through baptism that we become members of the body of Christ. The Lord's Supper is a reminder of Christ's sacrifice for us on the cross, and it is through this sacrament that we receive forgiveness and salvation. They are often called ordinance instead of sacrament.
