Protestants have ALL the sacraments.

Christ instituted 7 Sacraments. How many do you have in your church?

As many as are necessary ~ point being that Protestantism is far more complex than your understanding of it. (BTW, we have an awful lot of ex-Catholics wandering about the pews on Sunday, and they say they never noticed a real difference, theologically speaking that is.)

Let's see, baptism, communion, confession, confirmation, holy orders, matrimony, annointing of the sick/dying. Yep, got 'em all.

* Baptism
* Penance and Reconciliation (informally called Confession)
* Eucharist (informally called Communion)
* Confirmation (in Eastern Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Church, equivalent to chrismation)
* Holy Matrimony
* Holy Orders
* Anointing of the Sick (also called Extreme Unction)


We do all of these. We don't make big complicated ceremonies out of them, except for marriage, of course.

So, when you anoint the sick, do they ever get healed? They very often do in my church.

What about foot washing? You guys don't honor that command? What about baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire?

Please show me the 7 Sacraments Chapter and verse Bible please. Don't quote me something from some book, with what some pope said.

I'll back out now and wait for the verses from Gods word.

Christ instituted TWO, in accordance with Scripture: Baptism and the Eucharist. The others are important rites, but not sacramental.
