本文回應李文耀的〈在自由教會裏重拾洗禮和聖餐的奧祕性 —幾位福音派學者的嘗試〉一文，盼望透過具建設性的神學對話，反省及重置自由教會與傳統奧祕聖禮觀的關係。本文一開始探究聖禮奧祕性的聖經基礎，提出奧祕（Μυστήριον）一字在聖經中的意義，以及聖禮（sacramentum）這概念在早期教會歷史中如何誕生 — 藉此強調「聖禮」這概念乃是形成於具歷史因素的神學釋經。第二部分是巴特的聖禮神學。巴特的聖禮神學具有兩個重要意義：（1）巴特的去聖禮化為自由教會展現一套出非聖禮觀的神學基礎；（2）巴特的聖禮神學也是一個極佳的神學參考，展現出神學家的神學思考如何不應該傳統性或所謂「普世性」所局限。本文嘗試指出，所謂「普世性」不是跟從大多數，而是剛相反，在對話中展現自身的立場與不同。

ABSTRACT

This essay aims to respond Dr. Lee Man-yiu’s recent paper “Rediscovering the Mystery of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper in the Free Churches: Several Attempts by the Evangelical Scholars” and through a constructive theological dialoguge, reflect and relocate the sacramental theology of free church in relation to the traditional thought of mystical sacraments. This essay begins with a biblical word study of the word Μυστήριον and the historical development of the concept of sacramentum ― it argue that the tradition conception of sacramentum is based on a theological exegesis of the early church. The second part of the eassy is an introduction of the sacramental theology of Karl Barth, which brings two significances: 1. Barth’s Entsakramentalisierung der Sakramente provides a solid theological foundation for free church. 2. The theological reflection of Karl Barth demonstrate a good example, how a theologian do theology without any constraint of “the traditional” or so-called “ecumenism”. This essay tries to argue, “ecumenism” does not simply follow the majority, but, in contrast, engage in a theological dialogue without giving up the theological stand and difference.
