one thing I want Christians to understand is that despite differences in sub-doctrinal beliefs/ denominations we are all one in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12). we shouldn't want to be separate from each other, but one in Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:10).
You should do a video on the Deuterocanon I'm interested to see the reformed position on that. Also a "Why I'm not a Quaker" video since I am unsure of what they believe and their history.
why does an ordained minister have to be the one who prepares communion? I might just be ignorant for this specific thing but is there biblical support for that?
In the ordinary course of events coming from a Lutheran, sacraments are administered by the pastor of the congregation. This is primarily for the sake of good order, rather than a scripturally mandated pattern, but the Church has always used it. In event of an emergency, any believer can baptize, and any believer can pronounce the absolution. Since there's no such thing as an emergency need for the Supper, that one remains exclusively the domain of the pastor. If an emergency baptism is performed, it's good to inform the pastor of it promptly, partly so he knows, and partly so he can make sure the congregation hears about it (assuming that's appropriate, as it is in any case involving someone who's already connected to the congregation in some way). Once again, that's for the sake of good order (so the congregation can know who's been added to their number).
In the previous verses before John 6:55 ("For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.") doesn't Christ compare himself to the manna as he did with the woman at the well, but with water instead? (John 4:13-14 "Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.")
So what is the reformed view on ordination as it relates to the Lord's supper? For instance if a group of Christians take the Lord's Supper together without the presence of an ordained minister, does it "work"? What about when Baptists take the Lord's Supper? Is Christ's really present there even if the Baptist don't recognize that in the same way that Reformed churches do? For context I'm a Baptist missionary in Japan, but we often work with a Presbyterian group from Singapore, and even have a Presbyterian church in the US supporting us, so your channel has been really helpful in understanding a bit more where these Christian brothers and sisters are coming from theologically.
What about if someone is from one denomination but only has Churches from other denominations around them? Is the eating of communion still uniting them to Christ?
If they are of a separate denomination they have to be careful. There are many rules surrounding communion. It is Sacred and if you are not in that denomination and do not have the same beliefs of it as the other denomination then you would be desecrating it. I’m Catholic so my views may be different than yours as I believe in the Eucharist as Transubstantiation. But if you aren’t a denomination I would say just don’t take communion
What do you mean by "real presence"? Isn’t the Lord always present at Church? *Matthew 18* _20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."_
@@redeemedzoomer6053 So Do you mean that by performing the Lord’s Supper you are eating and drinking the body and blood of Jesus, not physically as in the wine and the bread literally becoming Christ, but as in something happens to you spiritually speaking when you participate of it?
Can someone give me talking points and scripture to re-introduce the Eucharist to my baptist/non-denom friends? They are great Christians but they fell for the "just a symbol" trap.
John 6 talk to them about Jesus speaking literally. Towards the end of the chapter he says “Truly, Truly I say to you unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you shall have no life within you.” (John 6:53). Like he said in the video Jesus was being literal in this situation the disciples were grumbling at this saying but Jesus did not clarify or refute his speech nor did he intend to. He was being serious the Eucharist is the Body and Blodd of Christ. (I’m Catholic do I believe it’s physical and spiritual) don’t know what denomination you are. Don’t really know if it matters but I hope this helps!
What does it mean to feed on Christ ? Plus, how could Jesus body, that's human, be present if by definition human's are not omnipresent (the divine presence is, but since we are talking about the physical body, how does it make sense ?) Plus, Jesus was Jewish, so He really knew, since he is God, that the law says to not eat blood, let alone eat human flesh.
Is means Is. Jesus said "This is my body". You can reject Transubstantiation (because Transubstantiation is kind of defining a mystery and can potentially be wrong), but you can't reject Real Presence.

I'm not a part of the federal vision crowd but I believe in paedocommunion. It just seems logical and consistent to me. Paul says Israel was baptised in the red sea and ate the manna and drank the water from the rock and he uses this as parallel to the Sacraments. Children did all those things. Unless you want to say they left the children on the shore with the Egyptians and didn't feed them the manna or the water?

If it were still a thing, Retsupurae would have a field day with this channel.
Apparently I agree with you. But I would add that I see the physical substances as a literal medium for transmission of that spiritual presence.

Ask first. Some churches only want their own members taking communion with them; others won't mind.

My brother in christ you should make something like a discord server
Could you take communion at home if you’re not physically in a church but viewing it as a livestream?
What do you think of ruclips.net/video/soCkftBBsBo/видео.html I have always wondered what the sort of mainline protestant view of it would be.
Challenge: Find me a single Church Father that disagrees with the Catholic teaching on communion.
Level: Impossible
Why can’t you be reformed and disagree about the Lord’s supper?
What do you mean by "real presence"? Isn’t the Lord always present at Church?
*Matthew 18*
_20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."_
I explain what I mean in the video. God is indeed always present, but in the Lord’s Supper we actually FEED ON Christ (spiritually, not physically)

Thoughts on reformed epistemology.
Would Presbyterians say that the Eucharist gives the forgiveness of sins?
No
its about remembrance isn't it? Just remembrance.
Those two sentences ('it's about remembrance' and ' *just* remembrance') are not the same thing...
Is means Is. Jesus said "This is my body". You can reject Transubstantiation (because Transubstantiation is kind of defining a mystery and can potentially be wrong), but you can't reject Real Presence.
