I am working through some thoughts on the Lord's Supper. I keep stumbling over this phrase in 1 Corinthians 11:27
"Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord."
The nagging question for me is in what SENSE is an unworthy partaker guilty of the body and blood of the Lord?
What I'm really wanting to find out is how wide the spread of thought is on this topic among the reformed community. Something like a survey. Feel free to convince me with details, but my prime concern is getting a feel for the variety of opinions represented here. ESPECIALLY if you feel your understanding on this is "variant/minority" or it hasn't been expressed yet in the thread, I want your input.
