12. AT The Lord’s Supper 28. “But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.” 1 Cor. 11:28-29 Unworthy – adjective – describing man Unworthily – adverb – describing manner of taking Baptism is more than getting wet Lord’s Supper is more than bread and fruit of the vine
