VIEWS CONCERNING COMMUNION:

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC VIEW,
TRANSUBSTANTIATION –

THE LUTHERAN VIEW,
CONSUBSTANTIATION -

RCC’S VIEW,
BREAD AND WINE/JUICE ARE EMBLEMS OR SYMBOLS OF THE REAL, LITERAL BODY OF CHRIST THAT WAS CRUCIFIED IN HISTORY AND TODAY IS IN HEAVEN AT THE FATHER’S RIGHT HAND. BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A REAL FEEDING ON CHRIST SPIRTUALLY BY FAITH – NOT HIS PHYSICAL BODY, BUT HIS REAL SPIRITUAL PRESENCE. AND EVEN THOUGH A BELIEVER CAN NOURISH HIMSELF ANYTIME, ANYWHERE ON THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST IN HIS WORD, THERE IS A SPECIAL NOURSHING OFFERED IN GATHERING WITH THE BODY OF CHRIST, PARTAKING OF THE LORD’S TABLE AND MINISTERING TO AND BEING MINISTERED TO THROUGH THE SINGING AND PREACHING OF THE WORD OF GOD.

JOHN 6:35,”JESUS SAID, I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE; HE WHO COMES TO ME SHALL NOT HUNGER, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME SHALL NEVER THIRST.”
