Bible Question:
I went to a non-denom church on "Communion Sunday" that said if you were not right with God, please refrain from participating in the breaking of bread. A denominational church said All were welcome, -except those without a right relationship with God. Q: If someone had un-confessed sin, would it be wrong for them to do break bread in remembrance of our Savior's sacrifice for our redemption? |
Bible Answer: I used to go to a Baptist church where communion was only taken every 3 months or so and they emphasized getting your heart right before taking communion, that it is a form of worship and reverance and thanksgiving for what Jesus did for us on the cross. I now go to a church that has communion every week. It becomes routine and meaningless to many I have noticed because they dont explain it well. I too thought you couldnt be a believer and take communion but then a Pastor told me that Jesus served Judas communion at the last supper and he was certainly not a believer. I am not a Pastor but my belief is that all are welcome to partake, but I personaly like to take time before I take it to reflect on anything the Lord may bring to mind that I may need to confess to Him and thank Him for what he did for me on the cross and listen to that still small voice (the Holy Spirit) that may lead me to pray for another like a lost family member or the Pastor or...so just do it in remberence of Him like it say's to do in His word. Sorry about the long answer, and Pastors feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Mike |
