Closed communion is not Pharisaism, it is simply taking seriously the Scriptures. It is not allowing one to eat and drink damnation on themselves. It is understanding that different views of what we actually RECEIVE in communion do, in fact, matter, etc., etc.
How about telling us what YOUR definition of a "Closed" communion is? I am all too aware of what some denominations/churches define it as and their practice has absolutely NO BIBLICAL WARRANT whatsoever as it is discriminatory against true believers. Perhaps YOUR definition is different than theirs? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

BTW, those who hold to a "Close" communion vs. a "Closed" communion are no less concerned (less holy?) than those who practice a "Closed" communion about the sanctity and profundity of the Lord's Table. To suggest otherwise would be foolish indeed.

In His grace,
