Baptists do not let even Baptists belonging to another congregation communicate. To them it is an act that binds together their faith community.

Communion varies amoung Baptist Churches, but there are basically three types.

1. Open communion allows anyone who professes to be a Christian to take communion.
2. Close communion occurs whenever only members of a Baptist church can take communion.
3. Closed communion takes place when only members of that local congregation can participate.
