Sorry, I was asking whether the (theological) concept used in GJohn involving the last supper/eucharist as the direct "ticket" to eternal life reflecting "belief" in the Christ is the same as the concept used in 1 Corinthians 11 about the last supper/eucharist.

How could a believer be a mythicist, since his faith would have to reject such a theory? Only atheists or agnostics could open their minds to judging the theory without prejudice.

Actually, surprisingly, I have encountered one mythicist who is apparently a believer, although not, I believe, a Christian(?): he writes under the name Kapyong, and I seem to recall I've encountered him here as well as at RatSkep.
