And then you have us Lutherans who are a cross between both the protestant and Catholic version of communion. Having been raised So. Baptist though I remember the theory in the 70s about the water to grape juice thing. Can't figure out how any well educated person could believe that...and there are many well educated So. Baptists. My Dad always told me we didn't drink because then you never had to worry about becoming an alcoholic. But they must not have been too worried because they bought me my first alcoholic drink on my 21st b-day. My folks still don't drink but now that I'm Lutheran.....but not to excess mind you.
Jews don't recognize Christians,
Catholics don't recognize Protestants,
Protestants don't recognize Catholics,
and Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor store.....
It's an idea that thankfully is passing from favor. When my mother was a child, few Baptists attended movies because they were considered to be the work of the devil. Come to think of it, maybe they had the right idea after all.Baptists (and I am one) need a good kick in the pants on this and several other issues. Legalism based on man-made rules has no place in any church, no matter what the denomination.
