Presbyterians believe that no Christian church - the Presbyterian Church included - has exclusive possession of the church government authorized by Christ.

The Presbyterian Church recognizes two Sacraments as aving been instituted and ordered by our Lord Jesus Christ: Baptism and Holy Communion.

Baptism is the Sacrament that unites us with Jesus Christ and maks us members of God's family, the Church.  It is an initiation into the church community as ordered by Christ.  It is a public confession, not a private one.  It is a statement of faith made in the presence of others.  It is NOT a guarantee of access to heaven; unbaptized people are not denied salvation on the basis of it.  Baptism does not have to be performed in a Presbyterian Church; there is no need to be rebaptized in a Presbyterian Church.

This Sacrament is also called 'The Lord's Supper,' 'Holy Communion,' or 'The Eucharist.'  It is a time to renew faith and strengthen participans for the duties and privileges of Christian service.  The bread and the cup repesent the sacrificial body and blood of Christ and recall the last meal shared with the Apostles.  Together they symbolize the New Covenant between God and all people.
