We continue with our survey of the open and closed communion debate. In 1816, the year following Robert Hall Jr.'s “Terms of communion” came out, Joseph Kinghorn answered Hall with “Baptism, A Term of Communion at the Lord's Supper”. Kinghorn was the pastor of Norwich Baptist Church and a former pupil of Hall's at the Bristol Baptist Academy. For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org

An open communion answer to Booth finally came in the formidable writing of Robert Hall Jr. In the early 1800s he was perhaps the greatest orator in England, possessed a genius mind, and liked to practice radical politics. In 1815 he produced “Terms of Communion”, a direct challenge to Booth's Apology. For more information about CBTS, visit CBTSeminary.org

Before I finish the study of John Collett Ryland's interesting life, I want to explore three topics in which he played a significant or exemplary role. One of these is his view of who was qualified to partake of the Lord's Supper. Another is his version of High Calvinism and his interactions with William Carey. And finally, there is his important place in 18th-century English education. For more information about CBTS, visit CBTSeminary.org

If the Lord's Supper was originally open to non-believers, as seems to be suggested in Luke's Gospel and perhaps in Paul's letters, then how did it shift to a closed communion by the time of the second century? Read the article and check out our additional content at thinkingtheologically.org
As Lutherans, Why Do We Practice Closed Communion? ✝️
The early church, as represented by the Church Fathers, reflects a Lord's Table closed to those who are not baptized. However, I believe the table began opened and only closed at the end of the first century. In the midst of this early closing of the table, Luke writes his Gospel to emphasize Jesus's table fellowship with tax collectors and sinners.

--- Sermon delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church on Thursday, May 19, 2022 at 6 pm. -----This KJV sermon on the Lord's Supper address the issue of open, close and closed communion.--The following questions will be answered during this sermon---- Which one is biblical- -- Why do churches practice closed communion vs open communion--- What does the term 'fence the table' mean--- What about church discipline--- How does someone's personal worthiness play into their participation in the Lord's Supper---This sermon looks NOT to downplay the importance of the local church, local church unity, or local church discipline. Instead, it looks to up-play Christ and the need for more Christians to get to the point where they are dying of starvation for Him.---- -- -- -- ----Jimmy Fortunato is the Pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church located at 229 W.

The Church Door: Sermons and Bible Studies with Rev. Matthew Fenn
Our Midweek study on Closed Communion
On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (09/03/21), Hank answers the following questions:Why do some churches observe closed Communion, and is it biblical?There are so many different interpretations of Scripture, how can I know what the Bible is really teaching? Why doesn't God speak to us clearly?What is the origin of Easter?In the book of Job, what is his basic argument and why were Job's three friends wrong?With respect to a previous question, can't we just ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand God's Word?
Covid-Closed Communion “That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.” “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.” — 1 COR 11: 27-30 Taking Holy Communion is a life-and-death matter - at least if we believe the Bible. St. Paul, writing to the Church at Corinth blames the death of some parishioners on the fact that they communed “without discerning the body.” And this is certainly a part of why the Church has always practiced closed communion - until quite recently, that is. The Roman Catholic archdiocese of Chicago is concerned about people becoming weak, or ill, or even dying as a result of coming to Mass. And so they are carefully checking people at the door. Not to make sure that they “discern the body” in the sacrament, mind you, but rather to see if they have received a Covid-19 shot. Nobody will check to see that you are a Christian, a Roman Catholic, or a believer in the Real Presence when you present yourself to receive the body and blood of Christ. The priest will not ask you. You may well be a Satanist looking for a consecrated host to desecrate, and nobody will vet you. And neither will the lay man or woman who is distributing the blood of Christ - though the chalice is once again being withheld by the papal church because of Covid. Again, someone could become weak or ill, or even die. Hence the caution. Of course, not just Roman Catholics, but all Christians who confess the Real Presence, seem to be more concerned about people getting sick or dying from Covid than from unbelief. It is as though we don't believe what is in the Scriptures that receiving the Lord's Supper without belief can be fatal. Theology used to be the Queen of Sciences, but now Scientism has become the Queen of Theology. It seems that we believe more in the real presence of viruses than the real presence of Jesus, and that now the fear of the microbe is the beginning of wisdom. In the ancient church, if you traveled to another diocese to receive the Holy Sacrament, you were vetted. You were expected to produce a letter from your priest. Today, in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, something similar is happening - only the priest who must sign your letter wears a lab coat instead of an alb. In fact, for many Roman Catholics and other Christians alike, there is a new pope. His name is Anthony. Larry BeaneMay 28, 2021 Facebook0TwitterLinkedIn0Tumblr0 Likes

Closed Communion, and Against the Modern Modalist II
Dr. John Mark Reynolds explains an Orthodox perspective on closed Communion.
The following is my response to one of my catechumens to the question of why the Orthodox Church practices a closed communion: Basically, Communion creates and defines our community, our being one with one another in Christ—i.e. eating of the one bread and of the one cup. Historically, some people/groups separated themselves from the communion of the Church through heresies or immorality or aligning themselves with a heretical bishop. Therefore, they are not in communion, not part of the one Church—at least as far as we can identify the Church as a concrete divine/human institution (not to be confused with “all who will be saved in heaven,” which only God knows). Anyone can return to communion with the one Church through repentance and Chrismation (or whatever specific rite the bishop decides). We do not have open communion because we don't want to say people are part of the Church who are not part of the Church—or at least whom we can't identify as part of the Church. This would be dangerous for them (eating and drinking condemnation to themselves) and dangerous for us (through Communion we become one with one another.

Often the Orthodox Church is criticized for practicing what is sometimes called "closed communion," which means only Orthodox Christians are permitted to receive the Eucharist. Using the story of the miracle of feeding the five thousand, Fr Thomas reminds us that God shares his fullness with us in Holy Communion. And since we experience unity with one another at the chalice, the implications are enormous!

Subject: Pillar 1: Apostolic Doctrine Speaker or Performer: Pr. Lovett Scripture Passage(s): Acts 2:42 Date of Delivery: November 30, 2011 Advent Midweek 1November 30, 2011+ On Apostolic Doctrine +In the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit.In the book of the Acts of the Apostles written by St. Luke, we read that the believers “devoted themselves to the apostles’ doctrine and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to the prayers.” These four things: apostolic doctrine, the fellowship, the breaking of bread, and the prayers, are the four pillars of the Christian community, the Church. Since Pentecost the believers have devoted themselves to the apostles’ doctrine, the fellowship, the breaking of bread, and the prayers. Over the next four weeks, we will be looking at each one of these as they guide and define what it means to belong to the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.So what is meant by the “Apostolic Doctrine”? Doctrine means teaching. Perhaps you’ve heard the word “dogma” too. Dogma is not doctrine. A dogma is a practice based on belief. Closed Communion, for example, is dogma, not doctrine. Dogma can change and fluctuate; like the dogma of the frequency of the Lord’s Supper. Weekly communion, or quarterly, is dogma, not doctrine. But participating in the body and blood of Christ is doctrine, it’s the teaching that informs and guides dogma.The Apostolic Doctrine, then, is the teaching of the apostles. Plain and simple. What the apostles taught is the Apostolic Doctrine. So what do the apostles teach? What is their doctrine? It can be found in the Bible, of course, but it is summed up and covered quite succinctly in the Apostles’ Creed.In the Creed we learn and confess that God the Father created us and gives us all things. We learn and confess that Jesus is the Son of God and the Son of Mary, our Savior and Redeemer by His blood, and that He is our Lord. And we learn that the Holy Spirit is the Great Comforter, guiding us to Christ and keeping us with Him, forgiving our sins and so forth, as the apostles teach, which is why the Nicene Creed confesses that we believe in the apostolic Church; the Church founded on the apostles’ teaching.But the apostles’ teaching is not like the teachings of medical professors or law professors, or even like seminary professors. The apostles don’t teach by filling our head with facts or having us complete problems and puzzles. They teach by forgiving us. Christ is our true Teacher, our only Rabbi, and He teaches us through the Apostolic Office, the office of forgiveness.We can learn all the facts recorded in the Bible; the who’s who of biblical times and places. we can learn times and dates and sequence of events. We can even learn the order of the books and other such things. But that is not being taught by Christ. That is being taught as a medical student or law student is taught. But being taught by Christ, by His apostles, is to be forgiven; to receive holy absolution and cling to that forgiveness as life itself, for so it is.Because that is the chief doctrine: forgiveness of sins. One might be so bold as to say that all apostolic doctrine, all the teaching of the Bible flow from and take us back to the forgiveness of sins in the blood of Christ. By being forgiven we learn how to live before God and man. We learn how to love and to give. We learn what to say and what not to say. We even learn how to judge. The apostles were sent in the same way and for the same reason Jesus was sent by the Father, to breathe out the Spirit of life and so forgive sins.If you want to know if a prophet is true or false, don’t bother with biblical facts – though certainly the pastors and teachers should know these – just ask for forgiveness for Christ’s sake, through His blood and by His authority.In Nomine Iesu+ Amen +
