No they cannot. However, they were authorized either by Hillel or a predecessor to represent these 4 promises:
1st cup of Freedom: I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, Exo 6:6
2nd cup of deliverance: I will deliver you from their bondage. Exo 6:6
3rd cup of Redemption: I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. Exo 6:6
4th cup of Acceptance: Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God; - Exo 6:7
Thanks Dave, I knew they were not Scriptural. But I appreciate the relevance they connected to it.
We did the traditional Passover our first year, but as we study we abandoned the traditional stuff. We still celebrate Passover with the Scriptural guidelines in Exodus, I Cor., etc.
We have our own flavor of it all...............lol
It is not so much a theological connection as a cultural and practice connection. The weekly sabbath kiddish is where the church got the idea that communion was to be done weekly.
I would call that more of a misinterpretation than an actual connection. Kind of like the piggybank that was originally in many shapes and made out of clay(pygg). Now, they were made almost exclusively in the shape of a pig.

Our shul makes the connection that Egypt represented sin. Therefore when we go through the Sedar, we acknowledge Yeshua as our redemption, taking us our of "Egypt".
