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.
***we leave it to the individual to verify his/her credentials with the Lord.***
We do the same. It is up to each individual to examine their heart based on the warning of the pastor.
