Frankly, I find that comment to be amazing, since the explicit command of Christ to his Apostles was to go into the whole world and baptize...and that's to say nothing of his own baptism, done as an example. And there's no way to ignore the Last Supper, what Christ said about it, and about future observances of it.
True, but your post dismissed ALL of them.
Then the obviously correct approach would be to observe the sacraments properly, not talk as though we should have nothing to do with them at any time, under any circumstances, etc.
Again, I believe we are to be baptized and to partake in the Lord's supper.
However, I believe the Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, etc. view on baptism and the Lord's supper is not biblical. They also classify baptism and the Lord's supper under an umbrella word that is not unbiblical (i.e. sacraments). The word “sacraments” does not appear in the Bible and it usually is identified with these particular churches that partake in extra biblical practices not found in His Holy Word, as well. There is no biblical warrant for praying to the dead, and or partaking in odd ceremonies that the Bible does not clearly talk about.
