Paul tells us that on the night He was betrayed, Jesus took bread, "and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying. This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

Answer: (by Don Preston) I believe that this common argument misunderstands the nature of the Supper and the meaning of "until" in Corinthians. First, the word "until" does frequently mean something like "up to the point of," and indicates a terminus or change. However, it frequently does not always mean this. Paul said "death reigned from Adam until Moses" (Romans 5:14). See similar questions...

Since the benefit of partaking the Lord??s Supper is a spiritual benefit, we must prepare ourselves spiritually for it. This involves the preparation of your heart. As JC Ryle said, ??To enjoy a spiritual feast we must have a spiritual heart, and taste and appetite. To suppose that Christ??s ordinances can do good to an unspiritual man, is as foolish as to put bread and wine in the mouth of a dead person. See similar questions...

Baptism is a sign of the means by which a believer is saved from sin. Hence it only needs to be done once, to symbolise his entrance into salvation and the beginning of his new spiritual life. When he is saved, he does not need to be saved again and again. The Lord??s Supper is a sign of the means by which a believer is sustained in his new spiritual life.

We have Eucharist (Communion) every Sunday in celebration of Christ's resurrection on the first day of the week. This practice dates from the first century, and originated in the meals to which Jesus invited all sorts and conditions of people.

The Anglican Communion is a fellowship of independent provinces/national churches sharing a common tradition and all "in communion" with the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Communion was created by the formation of the Episcopal Church in the U.S.A. after the American Revolution and consecration of its first bishops by the Scottish and English Anglican bishops. The Communion has no coercive power over any of its constituent members. See similar questions...

It means that another Church may not recognize actions of the "impaired" church. The Episcopal Church, USA has already been in impaired communion with a number of Anglican provinces for 25 years because they do not recognize women's ordination, or in some cases recognize women's ordination, but not women as bishops. So women priests cannot celebrate communion in Nigeria, and the ordinations performed by women are not recognized. See similar questions...

Once again, because of the autonomous nature of SBC churches, there is no policy within the Convention that addresses these matters. Each church directs its own affairs apart from outside intervention, deciding for itself how to deal with such matters. Some Southern Baptist churches have called pastors or elected deacons who had been divorced, but there is no way of knowing how many have done so. There are Southern Baptist churches that would not base their decision on the issue of divorce. See similar questions...
