Sacraments ordained of Christ are not only badges or tokens of Christian men's profession, but rather they are certain signs of grace, and God's good will toward us, by which He works invisibly in us, and does not only quicken, but also strengthen and confirm, our faith in him.

There are two sacraments recognized in the Methodist faith,  because they have visible signs and ceremony ordained of God and of Christ our Lord in the Gospel.

BAPTISM

Baptism is not only a sign of profession and mark of difference whereby Christians are distinguished from others that are not baptized; but it also is a sign of regeneration or the new birth.

COMMUNION

The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians have among themselves,one to another, but rather is a sacrament of our redemtion by Christ's death; in so much that, to such as rightly, worthily, and with faith receive the same. The bread which we break is a partaking of the body of Christ; and likewise the cup of blessing is a partaking of the blood of Christ.

Transubstantiation, or the change of the substance of bread and win in the Supper of our Lord, cannot be proved , but is apparant in the plain words of Scripture.

The body of Christ is given, taken and eaten in the Supper only after a heavenly and spiritual manner. The means whereby the body of Christ is reveived and eaten in the Supper, is FAITH.
