Bible Question: Could I have some input on receiving communion? A Non-Mainstream Protestant Church invites all visitors to freely partake in the breaking of bread. A Evangelical Baptist Church suggests that if you have not accepted Christ as your Lord, maybe you should think about waiting before you break bread with them. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Renovate Me! Scripture never specifically says who should or should not take part in communion. The only instructions which are given are found in 1 Cor. 11:27-32. From these, it would seem that only believers should partake. Other than that, there doesn't appear to be any restrictions concerning visitors. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
