• Matthew 28:19

  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

• 1 Corinthians 11:24-26

  … and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said,“This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
