353. Do all communicants receive the body and blood in the Sacrament, whether or not they believe?
Yes, because Christ's Word, not our faith, establishes His bodily presence in the Sacrament. However, only those who believe receive it to their blessing.
1 Corinthians 11:27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.
