Can We Use Grape Juice in Communion?

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the propriety of using unfermented grape juice in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. At issue here is not whether wine should be the element of choice in the Lord's Supper or whether it is better to use wine than grape juice in communion. Neither is it my intention to argue either for the use of grape juice nor against the use of wine. The question here is, “Is it a sin to use unfermented grape juice in the Lord's Supper?” In other words, may sessions lawfully choose to use either fermented or unfermented grape juice in the Lord's Supper?

Remember Their Bonds

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. (Rev 6:9-11)
