Does the LCMS have an official teaching in the following instances (assuming each of the clergy is faithful in belief, practice and teaching true to their various church bodies):
What do communicants receive from the Eucharist in each case:
-the body and blood of Christ
-just bread and wine
-body and blood of Christ to their condemnation
when the celebrant is:
an NALC pastor who is a woman?
a Roman Catholic priest?
a Presbyterian or Methodist pastor?
Billy Graham when he was alive?
(please to do not write about the right or wrongness of any of the church bodies or their views on ordination but on whether the Sacrament received is what is promised by Christ as his body and blood presence for forgiveness, life and salvation.)
I assume mostly LCMS folks are the only ones who might know these answers for sure.
