The Three Means of Grace

The basic teaching in apostolic Biblical doctrine is there are three means of grace: the Word of God, and the two mysteries of baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Isn't it interesting that when the Work is boiled down it comes down to the three lines of work: work with influences (and the Bible is the ultimate all-in-one influence), self-remembering (first conscious shock), and non-identifying (second conscious shock).

I just write this because of the connection between the two conscious shocks and the two sacraments, an esoteric (or practical) to exoteric connection.

It condenses practice.
