***Ask Gamecock if he can attend church just as fruitfully in a United Methodist congregation this Sunday as he can in his PCA church.***

a. I am not PCA.
b. If I understand your use of the word fruitful to mean full participation, to include communion, I can do so in any paedobaptist Reformed church. I can do so in some Reformed Baptist churches, but not most Baptist churches. I cannot do so in LCMS churches.
c. As far as United Methodist Churches, I will have to defer to my favorite UMC pastor to answer that question.

We practice open communion in the United Methodist Church. For the most part, that’s a good thing, but some, in my opinion, don’t approach the Lord’s table with a thorough apprehension of the presence of the Lord....I would say that about some of our regular congregants as well. In either case, we leave it to the individual to verify his/her credentials with the Lord.

The bottom line, then, is that you would be welcome at our table and in our midst. And we are paedo-baptism.
