I know at least the Lutherans interpret it differently than the Catholics. Look up Transubstantiation verse Consubstantiation.

As far as whether Baptists believe in what is stated in the Apostles Creed, I said that Conservative Baptists wouldn't differ with those doctrines. But we don't force people believe like we do or else- particularly on secondary issues. I also didn't say that it is the "Same" as Baptist Belief. I said more like. You seem to have problems with adjectives and adverbs.

Also, Scripture is not always crystal clear. That is on purpose. We are to study the Scriptures. The Word of God is right. Sometimes we do get it wrong. But, we study the Scripture in accordance with God's Word. Also, Scripture stands regardless if we get it right or not- and the Holy Spirit is a "He" not an "It".

No, the Lutherans interpret the scripture the same as the Catholics, i.e. the Eucharist contains the physical presence of Christ. Transubstantiation vs consubstanitation is about the "how" of that physical presence, and neither contradicts that there is a physical presence.

For what purpose?

and the Holy Spirit is a "He" not an "It".

Yes, and your point?

Not really. Same can mean similar in kind, depending on your interpretation. See the second definition at dictionary.com

Shoot. For just a minute there I thought you were going to say "Scripture is not always crystal clear. That is on purpose so that we may know for certain we are to also rely on the teaching Magisterium of the Universal Apostolic Church for clarification and continuity down through the ages."

My bad.
