Step into a thought-provoking journey of revelation as you delve into the pages of "Communion, The Amazing Truth!"
Imagine walking into a church only to be greeted by a card or bulletin inviting you to partake in Communion under specific conditions including: (a) belief that the true body and true blood of Jesus are received in the Sacrament along with the bread and wine, and (b) belief that forgiveness of sins is granted upon partaking; or words of similar effect.
Now, suppose the card or bulletin also stated that if you do not hold these beliefs or if you have any doubts, you should first consult with the pastor or an usher before proceeding. Alternatively, it might specify that only members of the congregation or sister congregations who share our beliefs are invited to come forward to the Table of the Lord.
How would you react?
Thus, the stage is set for a deep exploration of the truth of Communion.
In "Communion, the Amazing Truth," retired attorney, United States Air Force veteran, and advocate for doctrinal clarity, author Vince De Young, sheds light on the many misconceptions of Closed Communion. Motivated by searching for truth, he has closely researched and created compelling arguments that challenge the concept that certain beliefs are prerequisites for participation in the Sacrament. Drawing from biblical principles and historical context, the book dismantles the dogma of the Real Presence embraced by some religious groups.
Using careful biblical analysis and historical facts, the book exposes doctrinal errors while also offering a roadmap for reform. With clarity and confidence, Vince presents a convincing position that, in fact, all Christians, those who believe in Christ as their Savior, are welcome at the Lord's Table - a bold appeal that is sure to resonate with readers of all denominations, urging them to further their knowledge and embrace true Communion.
However, the true impact of this renewed revelation goes beyond the boundaries of theological discourse. The book guides its readers to understand the practical real-life significance of Communion as a way to connect to their fellow believers and their Lord while renewing the desire and purpose to spread the Gospel.
Through the lens of clear reasoning and honoring holy Scripture, the book powerfully endeavors to help Christians better understand Communion's divine purpose and how it can shape their spiritual journey. In a time when believers are being tested the most, and a feeling of alienation looms, "Communion, The Amazing Truth!" shines bright as a beacon of discovery and enlightenment for the Christian Faith.
Join the journey of Communion's amazing truth, promising illumination, inspiration, and enlightenment for theologians and believers alike.
