Im DENYING the bread and wine...
You can't have it both ways. Scripture give you absolutely no authority to contradict through "interpretation" a direct command of Jesus Christ.
You ARE denying the body and blood of Christ when you deny the bread and wine.
In your dogma, yes. But then, is one saved only by communion? If yes, then you must fight for your dogma. If no - it is by faith - then communion becomes somewhat less important, doesn't it?
No we aren’t. We take the wine and bread in remembrance of Him, as He said.
