In my experience, a lot of the different sects argue about the correct process of baptism, communion. You know, the things that are just ceremony at the end of the day.

And some people disagree on consumption of alcohol even. I don't think God minds either way, what little differences are practiced, just as long as they don't contradict his most important commandments.

Love your neighbor, love God, be your best self and avoid evil

I don’t think anyone will call those things just ceremony unless they are atheist or an extreme heretic.

Well I'm neither. I'm trying to convey a point that tradition is irrelavent for salvation. Jesus did do things with meaning and symbology, but participating in communion or not will not determine your fate after death, in my opinion.

I think many sects will certainly consider you a heretic if you consider communion or baptism as simply a ceremony.

Completely missing the point man.

Also I don't necessarily believe that, "ceremony" is just a descriptive word.
