1 | Joe, baptism required for Lord's Supper? | 1 Cor 11:27 | Searcher56 | 63063 | ||
Joe, are you saying a Christian who has not been baptized, should not partake of the Lord's Supper? ... or even forbidden? | ||||||
2 | Joe, baptism required for Lord's Supper? | 1 Cor 11:27 | Hank | 63080 | ||
Searcher, I have a serious problem with understanding why an unbaptized Christian would attach so much importance to his "right" to partake of holy communion and so little to a clear command of our Lord to be baptized. In 1 Cor. 11:27, the phrase "in an unworthy manner" is generally exegeted to mean "with unconfessed sin" which can include of course a very broad spectrum of sins. I submit that if we can agree on the definition of 'sin' as disobedience to God's commands, a refusal of the Lord's command to be baptized is an act of disobedience and thus constitutes sin. The only remedy for -- 'confession' of -- this unconfessed sin is to submit oneself to water baptism. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, read my post to Joe. The exegesis of being unworthy is having a devisive issue; being a glutton, impatient, prideful; or not judging ourselves. One could say the latter is "unconfessed sin" ... I don't see it in the context. The judging refers to the other four specifics. Not being baptized should preclude me. If the church says one must wait to be baptized, should I have to wait to partake of the Lord's Supper? I was saved when I was four, I had to wait until I was nine to be baptized ... and that was younger han the church wanted. I think it was 12. Again this is a minor issue. I don't push it. I have had interseting reaction when I show what the early church did. Maybe one or both accounts in Acts 16 included children. Searcher |

"I was saved when I was four, I had to wait until I was nine to be baptized ... and that was younger han the church wanted. I think it was 12." Did you ever ask them why? Did they let you partake of the bread and the cup during that time? --Joe! |

Joe, I did not ask ... I was a child. I did take the cup and bread. Searcher | ||||||
