We celebrate Holy Baptism and Holy Communion. Holy Absolution in our Lutheran Confessions is said to be able to be called a sacrament, but it lacks the visible signs of Baptism and Communion. We believe that Holy Baptism is a washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5), and that the Holy Spirit works faith in the hearts of infants and small children who are baptized. We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ pours out His Spirit upon the baptized. No mode of Baptism is specified, but our normal practice is pouring. Holy Communion is for us the communion of the Body of Christ and the Blood of Christ in, with, or under the elements of bread and wine (I Corinthians 10:16).
