Synopsis

This book probes the question of whether baptism is a prerequisite for partaking in Communion. Its author, a self-described Baptist, critically examines the practice of restricting Communion to the baptized. He goes to great lengths to demonstrate that baptism is not a requirement for Communion, despite prevailing Baptist doctrine. The author offers compelling historical and scriptural evidence that the practice of closed Communion lacks biblical support. He explores the origins of the practice and the arguments of its proponents. This book contends that the practice is out of step with the spirit of Christ and offers a fresh perspective on the meaning of Communion.
