Dear Brother Samson, thanks so much for the post re non judgmentalism.

 

You know, a lot of people don't use the same semantics or other liguistic things

 

being from various countries on this forum. Also, some of those who do speak

 

English, actually speak it as a 2nd or 3rd language. I think we need to recognize

 

that as well. It's not uncommon to have the same meaning in our hearts and yet

 

a different word on occasion.

 

I was never of the catholic faith , but rather grew up attending Baptist churches.

 

So that has nothing to do at all with my use of the precious words "Holy Communion".

 

To me, this act of love to Him who died for us is not mere ritual, but is rather

 

a serious act of love and worship and as the scripture says, it is done in

 

remembrance of Him. It is a very intense and holy part of our worship and

 

communion with Him. It is very intimate, just as it should be, as I see it and that's

 

the way I experience it. As often as  we do this,  we do it in remembrance of Him.

 

God honors this act of love and it is not only us communing with Him, but is

 

also Him communing with us as He receives this part of our worship and reverence

 

and thanksgiving to Him.  While we do commune with our Lord in other ways

 

daily, we can take the cup of blessing as well and it is truly a cup of blessing and

 

an honor. So many answered prayers and various spiritual blessings occur for

 

an awful lot of people who understand this type of communion.

 

God looks on our hearts everytime, all of the time, and completely .
