Well Spertmess it appears that your heresy continues on in your unwillingness to submit to the Holy Writ. Now you assume once again,

Quote
…there were churches at which Paul could not receive communion because they practiced open communion. But there were also churches that continued stedfast in the Apostle's doctrine where Paul did receive the Lord's Supper. He was a welcome guest …
Please give us the Scriptural proof, not mere assumption of these churches that “continued stedfast in the Apostle's doctrine” without any error (i.e.: Acts 2:42 will not do it for you: (1) Paul was not yet an Apostle, (2) this is the infant stage of the Church before the divisions of false doctrine, etc.)? Please show us where Paul, the welcome guest, was examined at these churches? And exactly which Church that Paul attended had absolutely no division according to doctrine. Was it Galatia, maybe Ephesus, maybe Philippi, which one(s) Speratmess? Where was there a Church with absolutely NO DIVISION, no erroneous teaching “at all”? Give us SCRIPTURE!

Moreover, where does it say that Paul never had communion at Corinth? Corinthians 11 speaks in “a letter” to correct the wrong version of the Lord’s Table, however it never says that Paul did not communion with them. The Apostle stayed at Corinth for some time; "… he dwelt there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them" (Acts 18:11) and this was only one of his visits. So are we to have communion every 1 ½ years according to Speratism? No, No, No, Spertmess, 1 Corinthians 11 states, “But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body” (28-29).

WHEN are you going to deal with the Scripture here? Acts 20:7. When will you submit to the Scripture for the first time? PROVE closed communion from a biblical text, “if” you can find one! The Scripture or continued heresy Speratmess, choose you this day? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />
