Another ordinance is water baptism. In fact, while some churches have many ordinances, these two are pretty much universal.
I think the reason they are considered ordinances is because Jesus ordered us to do them; ordained them if you will.
But Jesus told us to do many other things too. So in following the logic that Jesus ordained it, I am hereby suggesting… yea, declaring some additional ordinances for the church.
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
Well, I just realized it is going to take quite a while to get all these new ordinances listed. Maybe we should just add this one I found in Matthew 5, where Jesus was giving the Sermon on the Mount:
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect.
Whaddaya think?
