Communion
 

What wine do you recommend for communion?

Do you use bread, wafer host, cracker?

Re: Communion
 

Most use crackers of some sort. But, the Mennonite churches I was raised in bake Unleavened Bread. the texture is like a heavy sourdough.

Re: Communion
 

We use wafer host and homemade wine, but Mogan David oe Manishawhitz is good to use.

Re: Communion
 

Okay. And how much wine and bread may one consume without crossing over from holy to sacrilege?

Re: Communion
 

IDK, When I have communion at home I tend to drink the whole glass

Re: Communion
 

I am friends with some Pentecostals from Russia - and been to their church a time or two. they take regular communion, and use fermented wine. They also bless the wine, and believe as the Catholics do, that none should be left over after blessing it... interesting to see the Elders drink the leftovers. lol

Re: Communion
 

Wouldn't Russian Christians drink Vodka instead of wine?

Re: Communion
 

Id imagine if in times past your beverage was vodka, a little wine wouldn't phase you :heeheehee

Re: Communion
 

Have any of you done a bible study on "fruit of the vine" or can refer me to one online? This is still a controversy in our neck of the woods...grape juice vs wine.

Re: Communion
 

Welch's grape juice and unleavened crackers.

Re: Communion
 

????? You're sick man! It says fruit of the VINE not fruit of the STALK!!!!




OOPS!! just googled and found that Russian Vodka is often made of GRAPES and NOT corn or grains as I supposed!

Re: Communion
 

FWIW, as a child in the '50s our UPC church used Mogan David.....the real deal!

Re: Communion
 

I would Recommend the Word of God, sir. Communion is not to be taking Literally its Spiritual.

The Bread = The Word of God.

The Wine = New covenant.

Think about it how can Eating a little Piece of Bread and Grape juice Bring me closer to God?

If thats the case we all better run to Sams Club and Stock up on all the Bread and Grape juice we can find.

And on top of it we might as well believe that, the Bread literally becomes Jesus Flesh and the Grape Juice his Literal Blood.

Re: Communion
 

You smell like a Preterite.

Re: Communion
 

Please use the Word of God to Explain...

Re: Communion
 

To explain what?

Re: Communion
 

Your Belief, Sir.

Re: Communion
 

My belief about what?

Re: Communion
 

Answering a Question with a Question seems to be your Response all through out apostolicfriendsforum. Eternity isn't a Game. It isn't funny nor something to Meddle with, with that type of Attitude.

Re: Communion
 

Another fan.

Do you feel super sanctified when you call me "sir?" That's the affect it used to have on me when I'd call people "sir."

You have been here for less than two (2) months and you know how I post all throughout the forum. I don't know if I should be flattered or creeped out.

Re: Communion
 

Im no Fan of Ungodliness, and sir your Fruits or Lack there of Shows everyone around you Exactly who you really are.

2 Timothy 3:9
"But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone."

Re: Communion
 

So, you believe that I have a corrupt mind and am a reprobate concerning the faith. :)

Re: Communion
 

I know with out a Shadow of a Doubt that you Need Salvation. And you need to go back and retrace your steps to find out the Problem that has Lead you here.

Because if you claim to be Saved, Your fruits would Identify you as Saved not by you Pronouncing you are Saved.

Re: Communion
 

Interesting. Your tone. It sounds genuine.

You say this based off of what, exactly? You've been on AFF for less than two (2) months. Was it my fight with Ronby?

Re: Communion
 

1 Corinthians 11:19-22

New King James Version (NKJV)

19 For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.
20 Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper.
21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk.
22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

Re: Communion
 

I found a wine. Now I need to find a suitable bread.

Recipe for Communion Bread
(7 loaves)

2 cups hot water
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp molasses
1 Tbsp salt
5-6 cups of wheat flour

Mix all of the ingredients minus the wheat flour in a mixer
Slowly add flour until the dough wipes clean off of the
sides of the bowl. Mix for 5 - 7 minutes.

Divide recipe into six to seven equal balls.
One at a time, take the dough ball and pat into
a 1/4 inch thick circle. Take a fork and pierce
the dough with stripes and a cross.
(Don't skip the piercing step or the bread will ruin.)

Bake at 400 degrees for 14 - 20 minutes. Cool on a rack.
Wrap well and freeze until needed.

Re: Communion
 

Thanks. That's a lot of bread.

Re: Communion
 

true, but you can divide the recipe in half, and freeze what you don't use

Re: Communion
 

Dont be judgemental. You dont know peoples lives. You only know them by what they post here, which is not much to go by, so please have a seat.
