   This was funny. Looks like a take on the “MormonAds” that the LDS create and propagate (and that get satired by ex-Mo’s).

   I don’t know if I would go so far as to call using grape juice instead of wine “Legalism” (which is one of your tags); I’ve heard many good arguments why Christians should abstain from alcohol.

   Gary, you are right in saying that using Grape Juice instead of Wine is not legalism. However, the reason(s) for why many do not use wine for communion often stems from a unbiblical view of alcohol. Furthermore, on a more broad level, most abstentionists present unbiblical and legalistic justification for their positions. See the related posts above for more specifics..particularly these:

   Could Jesus be Jesus and a Southern Baptist
   A “Paige” out of the Pharisee’s book…more SBC Jedi Mind Tricks
   

   ….I have not heard or seen anything biblically persuasive as to why Christians should promote an abstentionist position.
