The bread and wine are consecrated at the speaking of the words of institution. In this, we rely largely upon I Corinthians 10:16 and 11:23-29.

Don't you think that's awfully weak, the notion that He is somehow mystically invested in the bread and wine by the speaking of the words? I sure don't see that in the bible.

In my previous life (;-), I donned the robe and poured the wine in the ELCA church. I might have given the Mo. Synod a try, if not for their having many of the same unbiblical beliefs.

[Mr. Lucky]

The ELCA has disavowed the Augsburg Confession?

I Corinthians 10:16 reads:

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not he communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

Tell him about the holy rail.
