4. How to Establish Biblical Authority
The Lord’s Supper
Express Command: “This do in remembrance of Me.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-24
Approved Example: “And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread.” Acts 20:7
Necessary Inference: “The first day of the week…to break bread.” Means as regularly as the day comes COMPARE “The Sabbath day…to keep it holy.” HOW OFTEN?
Expediency: ANY HOUR WITHIN THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.

5. “The clear, unmistakable import of the language used necessarily implies that they observed the Lord's Supper upon the first day of the week as regularly as that day came. We have here a comparison between the command for the observance of the Sabbath and the observance of the Lord's Supper upon the first day of the week. If ‘...the Sabbath day, to keep it holy,’ meant every Sabbath day as regularly as it came, then ‘the first day of the week to break bread’ means every first day of the week as regularly as it comes.” -Roy E. Cogdill November 18, 1957
