Do you have any examples of Christian denominations who do not believe in the Holy Eucharist as it is spelled out in the Holy Bible?

I'm not going to argue with you about what the Bible says on this doctrine.

My statement was that not ALL Christian churches believe as Catholics do, that the wafer IS the ACTUAL Body of Christ.
Rather they believe it is a representation of His Flesh.

Do you know of ANY Protestant Churches that share the Catholic belief on this?

I don't. And I've been to MANY Protestant Churches.

I think Episcopalians believe in this doctrine as well, but I could be wrong...

Jorge, that was your statement and I asked you to please give an example. If you don't have an example, that's okay too. :)

Yes, although not exactly the way Catholics view it, the Lutheran belief is that it IS the Body and Blood of Our Lord, the Anglican Community does in many respects and the entire Orthodox community does. Happy to help educate you.
