There are, according to Lutherans, two sacraments: Baptism and Eucharist. The Sacraments are means of salvation provided for us from Jesus Christ. The Baptism is eternal, and can by no means be heaved; any baptism in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is accepted. There's only one baptism for everyone.
The Eucharist is the Communion, where bread and wine (fermented or non-fermented; Lutherans disagree whether the wine has to be fermented (alcoholic)) are blessed, prayed over and distributed to the congregation. Some churches practice closed communion, which means that only members of the church, and--perhaps--members of churches in communion with the actual church is allowed to participate in the communion; others practice open communion, which means that every baptised person is welcome to the Altar. Lutherans advocate the thesis of so-called Real Presence, that the wine and bread remain wine and bread, but are also at the same time the Blood and Body of Christ, transformed through the Holy Spirit.
If you are unsure whether or not you are allowed to participate in a Communion, ask the minister for guidance.

Baptism and Holy Communion. But, Lutherans are not dogmatic about the number of sacraments. A sacrament is a rite, commanded by God Himself, in which He makes Himself especially present. It is taught that Holy Baptism an Holy Communion are sacraments. Often, Confession and Absolution is referred to as the "third sacrament." The other four rites ( confirmation, marriage, holy orders, anointing of the sick) are viewed as sacramental in nature, while not necessarily, or so clearly definable as, sacraments.
What was the Lutherans beliefs about Sacraments?
Many Lutherans are not dogmatic about the number of sacraments. A sacrament is a rite, commanded by God Himself, in which He makes Himself especially present. It is taught that Holy Baptism and Holy Communion are sacraments. Often, Confession and Absolution is referred to as the "third sacrament." The other four rites ( confirmation, marriage, holy orders, anointing of the sick) are viewed as sacramental in nature, while not necessarily, or so clearly definable as, sacraments. Conservative Lutherans hold to a stricter understanding of a two-sacrament system, using the following three part definition: 1) a sacred act which Christ instituted, 2) which uses an earthly element together with God's Word, 3) to offer, give, and seal the forgiveness of sins for the recipient. This view rules out man-made rites and focuses on the free grace of God given through the sacraments of Baptism and Communion. They are not simply ordinances that a Christian must obey, but through them God gives the Holy Spirit to create and strengthen faith.
