How do we know the doctrine of communion is true?

Answered in 3 sources

The truth of communion is grounded in Scripture, especially in the teachings of the Apostle Paul and the words of Christ during the Last Supper.

The doctrine of communion is affirmed in Scripture where Christ Himself institutes the practice. In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul recounts the Last Supper, emphasizing that he received direct instruction from the Lord. The elements used—unleavened bread and wine—serve as vital symbols of Christ’s sinless body and His blood shed for the remission of sins. The regular observance of this ordinance is rooted in Christ’s command to remember Him through these elements, affirming its centrality in the life of the church as a means of grace. Moreover, the believer's experience of union with Christ during communion, by faith, testifies to the truth and reality of this doctrine.
