What Are The Doctrines In The Bible?

[Major]

11. The Doctrine of Baptism: Baptism is an outward act of obedience of an inward regeneration. It is not a part of the salvation experience.

12. The Doctrine of the Lord’s Supper: Also known as Communion or the Eucharist. Lord’s Supper is a symbolic meal instituted by Jesus Christ.

Major I transferred this from the Doctrines and Ordinances thread for reference.
Southern Baptists, and most Independant Baptists fulfill holy mandates known as ordinances of which there are two:
1. Water baptism
2. Lord's Supper.
Baptist ordinances are often mistakenly referred to as sacraments.

I was baptised in a creek... in 2009. I remember feeling that I had been cleansed from the last of curses from the Catholic Church.
Since then.... so many MARVELLOUS things have happened to me.

I haven't really added anything to this. I believe Baptism is straight forward... An outward sign of an inward Grace is how I have heard it described in the past.

As for Communion.... I am a bit confused as to how often and WHEN the protestant churches partake in this ordinance???
It seems for the most part to be randomly selected times through out the year.... and most often experienced during special church celebrations... near Christmas and for sure Easter.

You asked..........
"As for Communion.... I am a bit confused as to how often and WHEN the protestant churches partake in this ordinance???"

Baptist churches are what is called "Autonomous". That means they have the right to self government.

As such, each church makes the decision on an Indvidual basis. Some partake monthly but most do it on a quarterly basis.

As with most all things, if it is done too often, say weekly or even monthly, it tends to lose it real meaning and becomes a simple ritual.
