1.
Some definitions of “sacrament” - The word “sacrament” is from the Latin “sacramentum”, which means to make holy, or to consecrate. John Wesley defines it as “an outward sign of an inward grace ordained by Christ himself”. What does this mean to you?
2.
Which are the 2 sacraments the Methodist Church recognizes? Why these 2?
3.
Why is baptism so important as a first step of obedience to Christ as a disciple? What about infant baptism?
4.
Why do you think that the default position of the Methodist Church is to open the Holy Communion table only to the baptized even though there is an allowance to have a freer stance?
