The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Examination - 1 Cor 11:29

The communion of the saints is based upon a CREDIBLE profession of faith. Your sectarianism and exclusivism has nothing to do with the true Church of the Lord. One is united to Christ at the very moment that true faith is exercised. And from that very moment, that individual is qualified and thus called by the LORD of Glory HIMSELF to come to HIS table. The Lord's Table knows nothing of Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, Congregational, etc. It is open to ALL who are justified by faith alone in Christ alone. Who are YOU to forbid those whom Christ bids to come to HIS table?

They are more than applicable because they DO apply to the "keeping of the law", particularly man-made laws which nullify the grace and law of God. There is NOTHING anywhere to be found in God's inspired written Word about one having to pass some catechetical examination conjured up by the imaginations of men in order to have warrant to come to the Lord's Table! The Lord's Table is first and foremost a believer's having communion with CHRIST and not some alleged "communion" with other men who are able to correctly answer a list of arbitrary questions.

There will be far more people worshiping God in eternity on the New Earth than your little sectarian congregation/denomination who Christ will embrace and utter those most coveted words: "Well done, good and faithful servant!"
