Open communion provides the perfect breeding ground for incubating the infection: The visitor is communed without examination. He then shares his error (e.g., "God reveals Himself in three different ways.") with the weaker members of the church who, as you said, would have trouble passing a simple test on the trinity.
Speratus you need to go and take some medicine—theological meds…. you are theologically sick <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/sick.gif" alt="" /> WHERE have we talked about OPEN communion?

Look at Acts 20:7;

And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight.
They broke bread (compare, Acts 2:42, 46)—love feast, communion. What Church was Paul the member at? Was he a member of the one at Troas, where he was only visiting? (Paul had visited Troas on his 2nd missionary journey. There he had seen a vision of a Macedonian man who begged him to “come over … and help us” (Acts 16:9–10). At that time, Paul did not preach the gospel in Troas, but during his third missionary journey, he found a church there (2 Cor 2:12) NTC). Now, Paul was having communion at a Church different then his own! Who examined him? There appears to be only a close (not closed, or open as you have purposely accused some here of ... ) communion here, where one examines himself!

Since, according to you Paul was only allowed to take communion in his home Church (closed communion), are you thus assering that Paul never partook of communion when he visited: JERUSALEM, CAESAREA, the REGIONS OF SYRIA, ROME, or ANTIOCH, where it never states he was examined for communion? Are you saying Paul rarely, if ever, partook of communion? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Eeeeeek.gif" alt="" />
