Bible Question: Joe, are you saying a Christian who has not been baptized, should not partake of the Lord's Supper? ... or even forbidden? |
Bible Answer: I think the first thing that someone professing faith in Jesus Christ should do is be baptized. The fact that there is such a concept as a "Christian who has not been baptized" is a sign of how little we regard the ordinances which Christ established and commanded to mark His people as His own. Baptism should precede partaking of the Lord's Supper; and my question for anyone who professes faith in Jesus Christ and wants to partake of the Supper will be "Why haven't you been baptized?" That having been said, I do not believe that is what Paul was writing to the Corinthians about. --Joe! |
