I understand that when we partake of the bread and wine (the ritual) we are doing it in remembrance of what He has done and the most important thing is it points us to the spiritual application. As Christ shared a meal with his disciples before lifting up the cup and the bread, I think the idea of including the bread and wine as part of the meal is important and thus, it is no longer some sort of ritual as much as it is a tradition when you gather. <BR/><BR/>ruthRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073390714770168329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075674213279091201.post-70042731119795806932009-03-16T16:44:00.000-04:002009-03-16T16:44:00.000-04:00There is danger of communion being a ritual but I ...There is danger of communion being a ritual but I also believe it is something we should do until He returns.<BR/><BR/> I'd be interested in your thoughts about baptism.Ikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595879576794400791noreply@blogger.com
