“I repeat, no church should deny anyone the right to communion.”

Communion is not a right, it is a memorial act of obedience: “Do this in remembrance of me,” that signifies a claim of unity with the Body of Christ.

Churches and purported church members who turn a blind eye to another purported member’s notorious (public) and unrepentant behavior are as much in rebellion against God as that individual, and equally subject to the Matt 7:21-23. Your argument is not with me (who has no authority over you, and no office to pass judgment on you, but nevertheless I do have a duty to confront you, in love, with the truth) but with the Author of Scripture. I leave you to Him.

You are going by "rules". The one thing you are not getting is this: When Christ died on that cross he shed his blood for ALL Mankind, rather, for the sins of all mankind. Now we know that we ALL still sin so does that mean that no one should rightfully take communion? No my friend anyone can take communion and if they are not right with the Lord when they do, that is up to the only person that knows their heart and that is not the Priest/Pastor/or do good righteous but Jesus Christ the Lord and He only.

So I suggest that we let the Lord do the judging on who is right with Him and not a mere man.
