Subject: What makes me unworthy of Lords Sup.? |
Bible Note: Searcher: You wrote: "First, no where does it say baptism is a requirement to partake of the Lord's Supper ... one needs to be a Christian." Not that baptism makes one a Christian, but I would say that it is the visible sign and seal of being united to the visible church. Why would one partake in a holy ordinance testifying to one's union with Christ without first being a participant in water baptism? I do not believe in baptismal regeneration by any means, but the "take-it-or-leave-it" attitude toward water baptism for the Christian has absolutely no basis in Scripture. New Testament Christians were baptized Christians. The issue wasn't mentioned because there was no issue to mention. --Joe! |
