Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrnaeans, Chapter 6, 110 A.D.:
Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God ... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes
let’s see, does that sound like any “old school reformed congregation”? Ignatius was taught the faith by St John, the man present at the Last Supper and the instrument used by the Holy Spirit to write John 6. too many Protestants reject the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Faith and join the gnostics by also not confessing that the “Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ”
what a pity.
That was written at least 250 years after Ignatius died and your religion stuck Ignatius' name on it...
If you knew what “old school reformed congregations” actually believe about the bread and wine (Google Calvin on “spiritual presence” if you are unfamiliar with the teaching), you would recognize the compatibility of the beliefs as stated.
I think they’d be in more danger by Denying Christ as God in the flesh as Ignatias’ master taught in 1John 4. The Epistle to the Smyrnians was not counted as a book in the Bible. Still, God equates the taking of the eucharist as though it were the same as taking the actual flesh of Christ as Paul warns that it should not be taken in an “unworthy manner”! Higher order supra-temporal laws apply here, no matter what earthly substance the Eucharist is made from!
