1. The bodies of men after death return to dust, and see corruption; but their souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them. The souls of the righteous being then made perfect in holiness, are received into paradise, where they are with Christ, and behold the face of God in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies; and the souls of the wicked are cast into hell; where they remain in torment and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day; besides these two places, for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledgeth none. ( Genesis 3:19; Acts 13:36; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:1, 6,8; Philippians 1:23; Hebrews 12:23; Jude 6, 7; 1 Peter 3:19; Luke 16:23, 24 )

2. At the last day, such of the saints as are found alive, shall not sleep, but be changed; and all the dead shall be raised up with the selfsame bodies, and none other; although with different qualities, which shall be united again to their souls forever. ( 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; Job 19:26, 27; 1 Corinthians 15:42, 43 )

3. The bodies of the unjust shall, by the power of Christ, be raised to dishonour; the bodies of the just, by his Spirit, unto honour, and be made conformable to his own glorious body. ( Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29; Philippians 3:21 )

Article 30 of the Lord's Supper, Section 1. The supper of the Lord Jesus was instituted by Him the same night wherein he was betrayed to be observed in his churches and to the end of the world for the perpetual remembrance and showing forth the sacrifice of himself in his death confirmation of the faith of believers in all the benefits thereof, their spiritual nourishment and growth in Him, their further engagement in and to all duties which they owe to Him, and to be a bond and pledge of their communion with Him and with each other. Section 2, in this ordinance Christ is not offered up to his Father nor any real sacrifice made at all for remission of sin of the quick and or dead but only a memorial of that one offering up of himself by himself upon the cross once for all and a spiritual oblation of all possible praise unto God for the same so that the popish sacrifice of the mass, as they call it, is most abominable. Injures to Christ's own only sacrifice the alone propitiation for all the sins of the elect. Section 3, the Lord Jesus hath in this ordinance appointed his ministers to pray and bless the elements of bread and wine and thereby to set them apart from a common to a holy youth and to take and break the bread to take the cup and they communicating also themselves to give both to the communicants.

Section 4, the denial of the cup to the people, worshipping the elements, the lifting them up, or caring them about for adoration and reserving them for any pretended religious use, are all contrary to the nature of this ordinance and to the institution of Christ. Section 5. The outward elements in this ordinance, duly set apart to the use ordained by Christ have such relation to him crucified as that truly, although in terms used figuratively, they are sometimes caused by the names of the things they represent, to wit, the body and blood of Christ, albeit in substance and nature they still remain truly and only bread and wine as they were before. Section 6. That doctrine which maintains a change of the substance of bread and wine into the substance of Christ's body and blood, commonly called transubstantiation by consecration of a priest or by any other way is repugnant, not to scripture alone, but even to common sense and reason.

Overthroweth the nature of the ordinance, and hath been and is the cause of manifold superstition, yea, of gross idolatries. Section 7. Worthy receivers, outwardly partaking of the visible elements of this ordinance do then also inwardly by faith really and indeed yet not carnally or corporally but spiritually receive and feed upon Christ crucified and all the benefits of his death the body and blood of Christ being then not corporally or carnally, but spiritually presented to the faith of believers in that ordinance, as the elements themselves are to be their outward senses. Section 8. All ignorant and ungodly persons, as they are unfit to enjoy communion with Christ, so are they unworthy of the Lord's table, and cannot, without great sin against Him, while they remain such, partake of these holy mysteries or to be admitted thereunto.

Yea whosoever shall receive unworthily are guilty of the body and blood of the Lord, eating and drinking judgment to themselves.
