You don't believe as Catholics do. You are not in communion. Are you not aware that receiving communion is a public profession of faith, that you beilive as Catholics do. Why present youself for communion when you don't believe what Catholics believe. >Phillip: "Far out,is it ‘trademarked’ or something..their property only???" Yes, or something. Its not a property thing as much as a responsibility thing. God bless... +Timothy >phillip: “Communion is symbolic to me”

That’s exactly why you were declined. You don’t believe as Catholics do. You are not in communion. Are you not aware that receiving communion is a public profession of faith, that you beilive as Catholics do. Why present youself for communion when you don’t believe what Catholics believe.

>Phillip: “Far out,is it ‘trademarked’ or something..their property only???”

Yes, or something. Its not a property thing as much as a responsibility thing.

Far out, is it 'trademarked' or something..their property only??? Communion is symbolic to me. Red coloured: Wine, Grape juice or even cordial, represents the blood of Christ. Simple..that is all I worry about..colour... ^_* Could even be red Gatoraide...heh.

Saw your post in Google Blogsearch and came to visit. >"Does it even matter?" As Baptists lack the Eucharist, a good arguement could be made for it doesn't matter. Baptists claim that communion is only symbolic as opposed to the early Christians who believed the Eucharist was the body and blood of Christ. Since Baptists have lost the Apostolic authority to confect the Eucharist and now desire only to have a symbolic spiritual communion, then it really shouldn't matter. Anything can be a symbol. Go get some Ho-Ho's and Nehi Grape soda. Heck, sharing french fries and catsup creates the same warm feeling of communion. >Alan: "the proper “mode” for the Lord’s Supper is a meal." Not just any meal, but a specific ritual meal with specific foods made to specific specifications. The meal was a Passover seder and consisted of wine, unleavened bread, herbs, etc. While historical Christian writings from the later 1st and second centuries do mention communal meals, the "communion" ritual (Eucharist) was always a distinct ritual apart from the common meal. God bless... +Timothy Greetings! Saw your post in Google Blogsearch and came to visit.

According to Scripture, the proper "mode" for the Lord's Supper is a meal. Everytime the Lord's Supper is mentioned in Scripture, it is mentioned as a meal. Whether grape juice can substitute for wine is one question, but for me a bigger question is this: "Can a little piece of bread and a little sip of juice substitute for a full meal?" Of course, most baptists would say that a little bit of water would not substitute for full submersion. -Alan Drew,
