How do we know the doctrine of 'discerning the Lord's body' is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine rests on biblical teaching that emphasizes the importance of understanding the significance of the Lord's Supper.

The concept of 'discerning the Lord's body' is rooted in 1 Corinthians 11:29, where Paul warns that partaking of the Supper without proper understanding leads to judgment. This underscores the need for self-examination and proper regard for the body of Christ. It is a serious matter, as misapprehending the Lord's Supper can result in spiritual consequences such as weakness and sickness among believers. The doctrine is affirmed by historical church teaching, emphasizing the significance and sacredness of this ordinance, which is intended for those who understand and affirm their faith in Christ.
