Lutherans do not believe in consubstantiation and explicitly reject the term. We believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist via a mystical or sacramental union.

Communion is not closed in our assembly but comes with several warnings . I remember backsliding and fearing Communion. Foot washing is closed .

While i go to a Baptist church my pastor really was led by God to celebrate the Lord's Supper every Sunday because that was the pattern of the early Church. We practice Open Communion but the Elder that leads the communion always talks about how important it is to be right with the Lord and if you're not do not partake. My fellow Baptist brothers and sisters who go to different churches ask me if it becomes routine to which i say no because it is a weekly reminder of what Jesus did for us and it truly is a spiritual feeding.

In my church, the Free Church of Scotland, our ministers will make it clear that only members of our church and those who are members in good standing of Bible believing churches who are visiting us should partake, otherwise you are eating and drinking judgment upon yourself. They will also say that if that’s not you today but you’d like to partake then come and speak to one of the elders and they can explain this and hear your testimony etc. I guess this is a form of fenced communion but it’s not like we demand proof from visitors before allowing them to receive it. In the past I believe a pre-communion service was held on Saturday evenings and communion ‘tokens’ were handed out to members (who were in good standing).

Orthodox Presbyterian here and we do closed communion. It is all explained prior to the congregation taking communion every time. It’s a valuable practice indeed.

My wife and I went to Methodist church before and after our marriage and they did not do this. We left the Methodist church since they lean so far left and went to a non denomination church that offer the elements before service. It made me feel awkward since we never did that before and I only knew of this from my family’s catholic tradition so I didn’t go to the table. I was still confused about it all. Thanks for posting this video today.

1) Normally, our "fence" requirement for visitors would be "If you love the Lord Jesus Christ", or "If you believe in Jesus as Saviour and Lord".
............
2) However, I have done a service, for a mixture of people, outside our own church. There, I had clearly preached the gospel. I gave the invitation to the Lord's table in the form of an altar call: "If you believe what I said", etc. Almost all did come forward to partake.
............
3) Yet, I do know from Church history that, in the early Church, at least at some times in some places, all non-communicants had to leave before the eucharist.

The PCA church I currently attend actually doesn't actually talk about membership as a requirement but rather just talks about not living scandelously. Probably there is a practical concern here with there being many university students there who are in coop programs and leave every 4 months resulting in awkward mebership situations.

Growing up in Baptist Churches, none of which were reformed, we practiced what we called Close communion. Much as you described for your church except baptism had to be by emersion.
I think that is unnecessary; it is the Lord’s supper, not XYZ Baptist or even Baptist or Presbyterian supper.
Thanks for a clear explanation of a very important church ordinance.

Some denominations won’t baptize till the summer when it’s warm like some baptists but once your saved they’ll slow you to partake of the table while unbaptized
|
Your "fenced" communion is also called close - ie, are you a member in good standing of a like minded church is what most Baptist churches would practice.
|
Pastor Everhard, thanks for the video. What is the minimum age you allow someone to make a profession of faith, so as to take the Lord's supper?

At the anglican church i used to attend they would allow you to partake without question if you were a visitor... if you were going to be a repeat visitor they would ask that you be a "nicene creed" Christian... if you were going to be a member you needed to go through confirmation
|
I am non-denominational. Our church has communion weekly, and our communion is open. At our church, we have 2 stations for communion in front of the stage. One person will tear off a piece of bread and hand it to the 1 communioning, the other server is holding a chalice with grape juice. Than the person that is part taking in communion will dip his/her bread into the juice.

Reformed Baptist here. Would be very close to you (i.e., fenced table). During announcements, we ask that those who would like to participate to talk with one of the elders in the foyer (also, it's very clear on our website, which almost 100% of our visitors/guests have perused; those who would like to partake can email the pastors to set up a short meeting before the service. We also ask our members who invite their friends or family to inform that they need to see one of the elders before partaking). We always make it clear that this covenant meal is for covenant members (i.e., those who know the gospel and have made a public profession of Christ, and are members of an evangelical church), and warmly encourage and welcome. However, those who do not talk with the elders, we ask them to let it "pass" by this time. Love your channel. Keep up the good work, brother!!

Your church is to be commended for its approach. I can't count the number of times I've heard pastors misapply 1 Cor 12 to unbelievers. I have a couple of questions, though.
1) Aren't the things described here as "yellow light" actually close to the things Paul described in this chapter, e.g. not discerning the body by mistreating its members?
2) Understanding that the Lord's Table is for believers, at the end of the day does it really matter if the unbeliever partakes, given that he's condemned already (John 3:18)?
Thanks for the thoughtful and helpful teaching.

Day 1,268 of searching Scripture for ordinances requiring church membership for communion. We live in the New Covenant where if we are regenerated in Christ, we are a member of the Church. I attend church weekly but have not "joined" the church because I can't find a commandment telling me to sign a piece of paper. I am very happy to make a profession to anybody who asks, but I refuse to partake in the modern practice of signed paper church membership.

I go to a SBC and we practice "close communion" or communion with a fence as you put it. Interested to hear that other denominations do that as well.
|
Given the context of the verse regarding participation in an unworthy manner I don't see any warrant for considering it as refering to status at all. The entire passage is about the abuse of the celebration. They were turning unity into cliquishness and thankfulness into gluttony, selfishness,and drunkenness. This was an unworthy and disrespectful use of what is intended as a sacrament.
When it comes to appropriate fencing of the table IMO we need to look to the nature of the covenant community.

Growing up in an open table environment, once I went to a friend's church and was shocked/embarrassed to be denied communion. Something I literally never forgot.
