Is 'taking' communion a REQUIREMENT for retaining one's salvation?

What *I* wonder is why so many congregations are limiting it to once per month or so. Of all the parts of a worship service, communion is specifically mentioned in the bible to perform, whereas singing and "greeting each other" and tithing (as part of the worship service) is not.

It's quite frustrating.

Wesleyans do it at LEAST 4 times a years.
Catholics do it every time someone darkens their door.
Mormons drink WATER.

(Feel free to add any more ‘correct’ ways to do it.)

Perhaps you should post the Scripture to show other folks.
