The most alarming issue on the topic is that the Reformed assign a mystical efficacy to baptism and a mystical presence to the Lord’s Supper that the Bible does not teach. It is mysticism, and Catholicism. If we are strict about it, I do not think that Reformed churches practice ANY legitimate baptism or communion for this reason alone. Other Evangelicals, even if they do not have a mystical view of baptism and communion, fail to implement the Lord’s Supper, because they serve only crackers — a tiny wafer for each person. There is no supper, and no fellowship among Christians as it occurs.

Yet they claim to be faithful to the practice as portrayed in Scripture. For putting up with the clown show, each Christian should be offered at least a full-sized cookie and a glass of milk. If in the same service the Reformed guru is shameless enough to criticize Catholics or Pentecostals for their mysticism, then add a serving of ice cream. It makes the hypocritical drivel go down a little easier.
