Or to put it more briefly...
... the distinction is this.
Who is the minister addressing in the Words of Institution? Is he addressing the congregation, on behalf of Christ? Or is he addressing God, on behalf of himself and the congregation?
To put it another way: if we understand the Supper as a re-presentation of Christ's sacrifice on Calvary, to whom is it being "re-presented"? To us? Or to God?
