You've been called a Closet RC!. I think that has been my new nickname with my friends lately. I am just a closet don't-care-about-being-baptist-rethinking-my-faith-and-wondering-if-I-can-learn-from-Saints-and-Church-fathers-instead-of-being-thrown-against-my-will-into-a-denomination...Guy. Yeah, thats it. One of these days people will be able to embrace some beautiful things about our past in our faith and not be labeled as anything else but a Christian, a follower of Christ. One of these days, Baptist, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran will all be dirty words. Look out! You’ve been called a Closet RC!. I think that has been my new nickname with my friends lately.

Did he see the elements change? Seriously though, I don't agree with the Catholic's belief of Transubstantiation. It's just that, from what I've read, I think Huldrych Zwingli oversimplifies things. I do find it interesting that Zqingli took such a light view of the Eucharist since he also taught that Baptism was a requirement for Salvation. Why was John wondering that?

Very few Baptists know that they are partaking in Zwingli's view of communion. Luther almost got in a fistfight with Calvin over the Eucharist. They parted ways and didn't communicate much after. I think that people would be amazed to find out that when they take the Lord's Supper that they are doing it differently and thinking of it differently than Christians have done for almost 1700 years. Ultimately I believe that the Eucharist or communion will be instrumental in bringing unity to the Body of Christ. Great post.
