William,

You're putting the cart ahead of the horse. Walk with me on this...

Do you believe that communion is only for the converted yet the unconverted will receive what is not intended for them? Yes, you do. Therefore, in priniple a practice cannot be counted wrong simply because the "ideal" is not met. Accordingly, the Baptist position is not found wrong because they cannot meet the intention of what they would like to pursue as an ideal, a pure baptized church. Accordingly, the argument against their position must be found elsehwere, which is no problem for us. If you don't understand this, I can't help you. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/hairout.gif" alt="" />
