1 | Why do we delay baptism, not His Supper? | Bible general Archive 4 | Vintage68 | 216774 | ||
Hi justme Jesus Himself declares what the purpose of baptism is for. John 3:1-9 Nowhere within the recitation to Nicodemus, does Jesus mention either inclusion or exclusion within the body. The account of the communion of Christ, by Paul does not say anything about the inclusion, or the excluding of anyone on account of baptism. 1Cor. 11:17-34 but in the middle of these verses. Paul says in vs. 29 "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body." It could be asked therefore, does someone that has not been baptized, have any reservations for not doing so? It might be advisable then, whenever having a communion service, to read these verses in 1 Cor. letting everyone decide, with particular emphasis placed upon verse 29 and the consequences.

Searcher: I see your point. In SBC churches baptisms are generally done within a short time after public confession. I know it is not true for all pastors, but there are some who go over scripture and give the person sonething to study to grow in the spirit and knowledge of Christ. Sometime durring the lessons when the pastor is convienced there is a genuine beliefe in Christ the person is baptised. I have seen many be baptised with no counseling or even a Bible given to the new Christian. Not giving any Scriptual counsel or even a Bible is my pet peave. To ignore some Scriptual counseling and making sure the person has a Bible is as important as baptism. We have to many uncertian believers that are not sure they are born again. This can only be corrected by the Pastors baptising these people. If the person walks in the invitation and askes to be baptised I see nothing to say we should not baptise then ASAP. As long as counseling follows. Many churches do not allow unbaptised people take Communion. Is that wrong? Blessings. justme |

Justme, I had this thought as I was typing the previous post to you. If ensuring "genuine belief" is the reason, then should the church stop people from "going forward" ... I am thnking more for those who are saved outside the four walls. After all, they may be making a false confession. At communion we examine ourseleves, not the pastor. Searcher |
