Acts 8:
>14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
>15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
>16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
>17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Acts 14:
>23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
Not seeing the word confirmation in Acts 8:14-17 or holy orders in Acts 14:23. (For the latter reference Acts 14:23, ordaining elders is also mentioned in Titus 1:5 for instance.) But what we see in these is a fulfillment of Mark 16:18- They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Same with James 5:14.
The signs were according to Jesus Christ in Mark 16, supposed to follow the apostles as a sign of their ministry. Do you teach pentecostalism, or continuing sign gifts like tongues and serpent handling, or else do you hold that these signs are relegated to the apostles' earthly ministry specifically as is historically taught by the church?
Where does Scripture say "these are the seven sacraments" or even use that specific word "sacrament" with regards to any of these, or link these seven things specifically in any way? So you see that, in Scripture, there is no mention of seven specific things that are to be called that.
By the way, the church holds two ordinances, namely baptism and the Lord's supper. The rest of those Scripture references are indeed related to commandments, but not specific ordinances related to the church. For instance, marriage existed before the New Testament. Confessing sins to God has always existed.
These two rites are also known as the sacraments, as seen in this dictionary definition of the word. "Ordinances" would be the more specific New Testament term, if intending to link this back to Holy Scripture.
Now anyone could just as easily take the two ordinances and pick five other commands at random, like say feet washing, or alms, or fasting, or laying on of hands, and say they are "the seven sacraments" or the "ten sacraments," to gullible people, just as papists do, if I wanted. But I am being responsible with representing Scripture accurately and not misrepresenting it. So you see how teaching that idea comes not from scripture, i.e. the inspired word, but from a lesser source: a source of natural fallible men only.
