Presbyterians worked this out long ago.

That’s your right. Others have the same right to define their religion for themselves.

I guess that's why the Catholic Church was the FIRST definers of Christianity and excommunicated Catholic priest, Father Martin Luther, began what we call Protestantism [1540's]. There are many, many, many, many different denominations.

Do you really believe that it's what Jesus intended--to have, after 1,500 YEARS, a myriad of different Christian denominations?

Most Protestants haven't a clue as to how THEIR brand of Christianity differs from the myriad of others. What kind of faith is that--not knowing what tenets/beliefs constitute one's faith?

This model reminds me forcibly of Hinduism, with its 330 million different faces of "god." They have changed the nature/isms of their faith so often over the millenia that when we visited India my husband was SURE that somewhere in India a '56 Chevy was worshiped as "god."

Is it our "right" to wander SO FAR OFF THE PATH of Jesus' life, teachings, death and resurrection?

I’m not talking theology. I’m talking The USA Constitution.

If I were to explain my theology, I would lean toward spiritual presence for the assembled Christians.

I prefer real unleavened bread, actual wine, and a consecratory/thanksgiving prayer by an assembly approved & prepared pastor/minister.
