Sin: Not a Reason to Refuse Communion

[Presbyterian Continuist]

I think Paul's notion of unworthy reception is really about sins against fellowship and good order, not the notion that one should be overly scrupulous about the sacrament, given the overall context surrounding it.

Being sinful people is the exact reason why we should participate in communion. The problem arises when people disrespect it and make light of the body and blood of the Lord. In the case of the Corinthians, turning a holy meal into a glutton fest and a boozeup.
