Receiving the Eucharist is a live and death matter. If you had an understanding of the Bible you would run to the nearest Catholic Church and convert to the One, True, Apostolic church. There is no other. Started by Christ himself 2,000 years ago.
**Receiving the Eucharist is a live and death matter.**
Does it wear off?
If not, why repeat the ceremony?
If it does wear off, how does one know when it has worn off?
Look throughout Acts. It’s full of conversion stories. Do you see Peter, John, Philip, or Paul administering the ‘eucharist’? Nope. Pretty slack of them, seeing how they focused on repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Lord’s supper,...they knew it was a spiritual matter, not literal.

I’m headed for bed, but your welcome to address my points, and answer my questions in #750.

The proof is in the rightly divided Word. Not in some memorized catechism
Acts 15:22-35
The apostles and elders, your brothers,
To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:
Greetings.
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.
30 So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they gathered the church together and delivered the letter. 31 The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message. 32 Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the believers. 33 After spending some time there, they were sent off by the believers with the blessing of peace to return to those who had sent them. [34] [d] 35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, where they and many others taught and preached the word of the Lord.
