Nikolaos, this seems a great deal of theology to rest on a point of Greek 
grammar.  You seem to be saying that the presence or lack of the definite 
article τὸν (TON) is key to understanding this passage sacramentally (your 
actual explanation was a bit unclear to me).  I am not interested in 
discussing sacramentology, but I am interested in you clarifying the 
grammatical assertion you seem to be making?
