1 Cor 11:26 This ordinance is to be repeated """as often as you do it""" until Christ returns. Each time we proclaim His death in the Supper, we are also reminded that He is returning.

We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Finished sin payment & resurrection. The sacraments themselves do not save us.
