Why are these not counted as sacraments of the gospel?
November 9, 2025 Day 313
The forty-fifth question in our catechism is:
“Why are these not counted as sacraments of the gospel?”
The answer is:
“Some are corruptions of New Testament teaching. Others are states of life which are allowed by the Bible but do not have any visible sign or ceremony instituted by God associated with them.”
cf. Article 25.
