My church has the practise of administering communion to children as well. Therefore children baptised as infants can partake the communion. These children will be required to go through confirmation when they are older.

Yes. One has to be confirmed before they are able to be partaking in Holy Communion.Originally posted by mhcampboy:Oh oh... btw.. just asking..

I didn't know this until I was attending confirmation class (it took me a long time after I got baptised to get confirmed). I was already partaking Holy Communion for years until the Bishop highlighted this. I then stopped partaking Holy Communion until I got baptised.
However, some pastors gave exemption to visitors to the church (other denominations) who are baptised to join in. -

1 Cor 11
27Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself.
And yes...any baptised christian of any branch can partake too.... -
Sounds biblical.Originally posted by laoda99:Presbyterian is strictly no for children/non-baptised members to partake...for fear that they may not know what they are partaking...
Of course if anyone thinks partaking communion is like drinking some energy drink to get you spiritually vitalised .. then baptised children also can take. -

does it says a person must examine himself, confess sin .... ect then be considered worthy before he/she can partake communion?
OR
does it simply says, to partake the communion in a worthly manner
??
the preceeding verses speaks of how Paul 'scolded' the corinthians on how they misbehaved when they come together to partake communion like hogging the bread, getting themselves drunk with the wine ...etc, then come this part that says about partaking in an unworthly manner.
Then comes a man need to examine himself before he eats... examine what? is sin mentioned, no, the verse after that explain this...it about 'recognizing the body of the Lord'.
furthermore, if one need to need to do the confession ...etc to make himself worthly before partaking the communion, why then would Jesus, our Lord taught that its not the healthy (worthly) that needs a doctor (Him), but the sick (unworthly)?
cheers -
communion don't heals, not a magic portion, but the Lord does. And its the constant reminder of what the Lord had done (human very fogetful, so constant reminder needed), that we can have the confidence to pray and believed the healing that is by the grace of God through Christ Jesus.Originally posted by laoda99:Some charismatic churches view communion as a cure for sickness.... -
I think it does say a christian must examine himself before he can partake communion.

My view is that, for some charismatic churches, the people who partake in the communion are not even believers. So they may not know what they are doing. Worst, the pastor will just ask people to join in without telling them what is the significance.
The holy communion is one of the church's sacraments. People should be educated before they partake in the Lord's supper. If not the fault will be with the pastor who does not forewarn them.Originally posted by vince69:this is another verse which I feel is being misquote quite often...
