WHen ones worthiness to partake is scrutinized by some man made test, and ones doctrinal DNA has to line up with the elders, that has gone too far in scriptural terms.

Again I am all for fencing the table when done for biblical reasons, what I am against is when it becomes a judging witchunt based on a misinterpretation of Paul in 1 Cor.

Do you disagree with the reasons I've sighted in my previous reply in this thread?

In addition to the individual's responsibility to "discern the body" the elders are given the responsibility to "fence the table" from those who are unbelievers. So that only those who have professed their faith publicly and remain in good standing with Christ's church can take part in this holy meal.


If you do, do you also have a problem with elders exercising discipline in the church?

Wes I agree with your balance. I was just pointing out the extremes on both ends....

There never was a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
