MVC Elder Affirmation of Communion: We believe that Communion 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 in a worthy manner partake of Christ’s body and blood, not physically, but spiritually, in that, by faith, they are nourished with the benefits He obtained through His death, and thus grow in grace.
MVC Elder Affirmation of Baptism: We believe that Christian Baptism is a sovereign New Covenant ordinance of the Lord in which repentant believers submit themselves to immersion in water in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit at the hands of an authorized disciple. This act is a sign of disciple’s faith in the Lordship of Christ; of union with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection; of being grafted into Christ; of remission of sins; of walking in newness of life; and of their belonging to the new people of God — the true Israel. It is also an emblem of burial and cleansing; signifying death to the old life of unbelief, purification from the pollution of sin. Baptism is therefore a pre-requisite to the privileges of church membership.

I have been getting some questions on the sacraments and our church’s view from some visitors. I have been answering the questions, but I wanted to continue to deepen my understanding and review these sermons again. Thanks for posting them.
