Justin Peters on the Lord's Supper

LIVING · REFORMED BAPTIST / DISPENSATIONAL
NOT LOCATED IN A SOURCENO POSITION FOUND°
NO STANCE — AND WHY

No position located in this corpus

Searched in the sources read for this figure and not found. A limit of the reading rather than a claim about the figure — a source not yet read could settle it.

THE POSITION

No position located in this corpus, and the near-miss is worth naming. The statement mentions the Supper twice — as one of the two ordinances marking a true church, and in the justification section, where righteousness supposedly gained by repeated penance or communion is dismissed as no righteousness at all. That rules out a view on which the Supper conveys justifying righteousness. It does not say what he thinks the Supper is.

WHY THERE IS NO QUOTATIONEvery position below is sourced from one document: the Statement of Faith published at justinpeters.org, read in full on 2026-08-22. That is a narrow corpus and a strong one — written, authored, attributable and permanently addressable, which makes it better provenance than any transcript, because a reader can open the page and check each quotation against it. What it is not is comprehensive: it is a summary of conclusions, not a body of teaching, and the six blank positions are blank because this document does not settle them, not because Peters has no view. His 710 videos, his seminar and his books were not read. Two things here come from outside that document and are marked where they appear: the biographical detail in this blurb, from his About page and from news coverage of the 2026 church plant, and one note on saving-faith drawing on the testimony excerpt on that same About page.
