<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>#1 - In the Bible, the communion service is referred to as "the Lord's supper" or "the Lord's table" but never as the "Eucharist".
#2 - The term "Eucharist" is almost always associated with Roman Catholic churches, Anglican churches, Episcopalian churches, ect.
#3 - The term "Eucharist" is commonly applied to the Roman Catholic mass.
#4 - Churches that have the "Eucharist" almost always refer to it as a sacrament (meaning it has saving power).
#5 - True NT Baptist churches have never referred to the Lord's supper as the "Eucharist".

Nothing wrong with the term, though I prefer the Lords supper myself.

When my wife and I were first married, I attended her church, which was liturgical in worship. It can be very beautiful and majestic. However, I found it to become just a routine. I never heard the need to get saved. If you ask that to one of the members, they would most of the time say, "saved from what?" Thats why we left. I also find that its better to not be so set in a format in the worship that you can't allow for the Holy Spirit to move. This church was not baptist. Perhaps I would have stayed if the gospel would have been preached. I have found that I also get a blessing from the informal worship style where the Holy Spirit can move, if so allowed. Even in a non-formal worship, we can quench the Spirit.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
True on all counts. I think liturgical worship is only meaningful if it is used in a community of committed believers who study pray and fellowship together in and out of the sanctuary.

Instead of rolling your eyes, winking, and rolling on the floor and laughing, someone could have just pointed out to Steven in the New Testament Greek where eucharist is used to refer to the partaking of the bread and wine to represent the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. I would, but I haven't found it yet.
