The word "ordinance" is an unusual word which has a history in protestantism. In the Catholic church, the idea would be expressed as a "sacrament". One of the major schisms between protestantism and Catholicism was over the extent to which our own works could contribute to our salvation. Many prominent protestant thinkers argued that works mattered not at all. To them, works were merely evidences of our more abstract spiritual merits. Nevertheless, the requirement of baptism and taking the sacrament are scripturally evident. The solution to this problem, for many protestants, was to think of these rites, not as actions which help to save us, but instead, as demands of the law; conventional forms we comply with as evidence of our spiritual merits. Hence, the term "ordinance" was adopted to contrast with the ideas associated with "sacraments".
Clearly, LDS doctrine holds that our actions, and, in particular, the rites we refer to as ordinances, do have value in contributing to our salvation. In this way, we have more affinity with Catholicism than with protestantism, and likely contributed to the animosity directed at the Church by the highly protestant population of the United States of America.
Considering the source from Keystone, dated 8 Sep 2025, I have been giving a lot of thought to the fundamental nature of ordinances. It would seem that for what we might consider "saving" ordinances, those which are required steps to take to qualify for some measure of salvation, most of the formal details are not fundamentally important. (The specific words we say in prayers, the perfectness of the prescribed form, etc.) What matters most consistently appears to be proper authority, witnessing, and recording.
