Hello. I was just wondering why Baptists use grape juice for their communion services. Now I do not want to get into a debate about the Real Prescence, but I do want to know why Baptists feel like they can edit a sign of the covenant like that. Remeber, Jesus said, "This is the new covenant in my blood." Why then do you use grape juice?

Simply put: Jesus used wine during the Last Supper to symbolize his blood. Grape juice is like wine, except cheaper and everyone can drink it (you don't have to be a certain age). Therefore, grape juice symbolizes his blood
