Why argue about Intinction?

It is curious to me that a Reformed and Evangelical denomination would want to administer the sacrament in a way that is different from Jesus' institution. Do we think we are improving on his procedure? If we think it is safe to disregard the Bible here, where else are we doing this?

Why argue about  it Intinction? Because it is important on many levels. On the surface it may seem like a small matter but as Rick Phillips explains, it is crucial to our well being of any denomination and to individual believers. Read more from Phillips here.
