This was on a church's website.
"The freedom we have in Christ sets us free from the restrictions of legalistic rituals and religious regulations.
"My Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the freedom I have in Christ. Thank You that I am not under any form of the Law, but under grace. Keep me from sin, I pray,"
Many churches teach Christians are not required to do rituals and obey regulations, because they are under grace.
A ritual is
"an act or series of acts regularly repeated in a set precise manner"
Merriam-Webster dictionary.
What about Baptism and the Lord's Supper?
Regulations are
"the state of being [brought] under the control of law or constituted authority"
Merriam-Webster dictionary.
Are not Christians to be under God's authority?
