The OAC believes that there are three sacraments; Holy Communion, Holy Baptism and Holy Sealing.
The OAC also believes that these sacraments can be given to the departed. This is performed by an Apostle by giving the sacraments to two substitutes (normally a Fourfold Officer and his wife). According to OAC belief, the dead do not enter the body of the substitute, or reside within any members, as only one soul (the mind of the person) and one spirit (Holy Spirit) can be present within a body.
