Using one cup or multiple is hardly a false teaching. I don't want to use any cup. I don't want to share my germs with others (I have a mouth infection at the moment brought about from a steroid nasal spray for my bad sinuses so it's pretty gross). We use little glasses at church.
The ordinance is the bread and grape juice (yup, juice - fruit of the vine), not bread and cup.
You are concerned over this... I can only imagine that your concern is because you believe using multiple cups is sinning and you will lose your salvation?

What I believe, is that it's not about germ sharing, it about having the exact type of communion, in the exact type of circumstances that Jesus had. For this reason, I believe is using wine in communion and using one cup, just like Jesus did.
