What we consider to be sacraments are acts that JESUS our LORD AND SAVIOR performed himself. He was Baptized and he did have Communion with his disciples. The other acts you list as sacraments we consider to be rituals, some I agree with and some I don't.

You are certainly allowed to have your own definitions, but you can not say there is no Scriptural support for the sacraments we recognize.

The Apostles did these actions in order to bring about the gift of healing and salvation to the peoples of the world. If you are not doing them, you are not following the model of the early church.

I am curious which actions that the Apostles did that you disagree with.
