“Speaking of communion, can any fellow walk in off the street into an LDS organization meeting house and partake of communion with the LDS members?”
Taking the sacrament is to renew the covenant made at baptism. Those who have not been baptized into our church don’t have a covenant to renew so they can partake of it if they wish, but there is no spiritual benefit (or harm) to them in doing so. Parents are encouraged to have their unbaptized children to take it as a means of developing a good habit and teaching them what it is about.
So then, the communion you guys take is not the same as the one the rest of Christendom takes?
My, My...seems like some arguments from the past are being disputed here: Those who have not been baptized into our church
Inmans, have we NOT been told often that the "baptism" is into the BODY OF CHRIST and NOT into the LDS church?
Christians, what CHURCH are YOU baptized into?
AND, I have been told that baptism for the dead is NOT baptism INTO the LDS church.
Habit!!!! A habit are you kidding?
Communion is not a HABIT. Communion is a commune with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, in remembrance of His sacrifice.
Remember Me, Remember Me a habit that is just plain ..............
And another thing.......if your worship (communion is worship) is a habit.....IT IS NOT WORSHIP.
Any worship which is routine or viewed as a habit is not worship.
