"Sacraments"
The problem with 'sacraments' as church Christians understand them is they get *man* all involved between the believer and Jesus Christ. Which is why the devil (and clerics securing their livelihood) loves them, and how he's able to use them as such effective means to keep the fear of man preeminent over the fear of God in churches. Which keeps church Christians real "Village of Morality" dumb and real Spiritually dead.
Sacraments are mysteries, taught by the Holy Spirit, involving the Holy Spirit. They're about being filled with the Spirit, and remembering Jesus and all that He represents once the flesh - and the world and the devil - wars with the Spirit. They are about active, progressive sanctification. Provoking limits and extending limits. Limits involving the measure of the Holy Spirit you can handle and use. Jesus was given the Spirit *without measure*. Believers can hold only so much as they can contain without grieving the Spirit within them with human, all-to-human behaviour.
How is this done, practically speaking? Well, to get to the practical level of the faith you have to *value* the practical level of the faith. You also have to *fear only God*. Fear God, *it is the beginning of wisdom*. Language exists. Language of the Holy Spirit. Language the Holy Spirit teaches.
