The following is a quote from a reformed Baptist church's Affirmation of Faith:
"We believe that the Lord´s Supper is an ordinance of the Lord in which gathered believers eat bread, signifying Christ´s body given for His people, and drink the cup of the Lord, signifying the New Covenant in Christ´s blood. We do this in remembrance of the Lord, and thus proclaim His death until He comes. Those who eat and drink it in a worthy manner partake of Christ´s body and blood, not physically, but spiritually, in that, by faith, they are nourished in the benefits He obtained through His death, and thus grow in grace."
Is this in any way different, contradictory, or lacking when compared to the Westminster Confession? I'm trying to understand the differences, but sometimes I get caught up in the differences assigned to different words. Thanks in advance :-D
