[HonestTruth]

Feet washing is a must on this occasion:

O.K. Here you are sir:

1. Get rid of the portable set for "wafers" and cups.

The New Testament doesn't say anything about this being normal practice.

2. In scripture, typically they partook of the Lord's body & blood in the context of a meal. When Jesus first did this, it was part of a Passover meal..When Paul mentions this, it was part of a meal.

Therefore, it should be part of a larger meal whenever possible but
If you can't that's fine, in my opinion.
Scripture know no such dogmatic stance as to when, where & how the Lord's body & blood are to be taken.
It DOES dogmatically state that when you do take it, that you should first "examine yourself." Why?
Paul says essentially "To discern the Lord's body."
Furthermore he states "Whoever takes it in an unworthy manner shall be guilty of the body & blood of the Lord."

When you keep this in context, you see that the rich were eating & getting drunk & the poor were essentially being dishonored.
IF the rich in Corinth were honoring the poor as brothers & sisters, they wouldn't be getting drunk and fattening up on food!
The rich didn't discern the Lord's body and Paul said "this is many of you are sick & some have died/fallen asleep."

Jesus takes his body (HIS people) very seriously.
When we eat the "Lord's body" it is a type & shadow of Jesus AND the church.
The church IS Jesus's body! Therefore we respect all of God's people no matter what financial situation they are in or what race they are or how smart or not so smart they are.

I can't make it any plainer sir!
There you have it.

Follow Jesus......Love the Lord.....Follow what the written word says.

You friend are totally wrong! I see you don't dialogue, so this is all I have to say.

you didn't answer my questions though, you just said no and then said something I couldn't understand. If you did answer please reword this ^^^ so I can understand your point of view.

I hope this helps a little. The small set you have is perfectly fine to have. My question is why and with whom do you celebrate the Lords Supper with and why. AS a Pastor I have seldom used it because most of the people I visited in the hospital were more concerned with their health and wanted prayer and a verse or so from the Bible. On occasion I would anoint a person with oil.

Celebration of the Lords Supper with family and friends is fine. But all are to be born again followers of Jesus. Unless a child really is born again and been baptized they are forbidden just as unsaved adult are not to partake at all.

The Lords Supper is serious spiritual communion with the Lord Jesus Christ each and every time we celebrate the Supper. So be wise and careful, and the Lord will bless your ministry as a believer.

LOL Messiah was talking about PASSOVER.... As often as you observe passover do it remembering ME... He became the passover lamb who was offered before the Father as the ETERNAL sacrifice for the sins of his people. No longer was needed the blood of innocent animals to cover the sin of man... likewise Messiah's sacrifice causes death to PASSOVER us.... because we are already dead to sin having died with Messiah and we likewise will be raised by him

Is foot washing an ordnance like Baptism or the Lords Supper?

I explained it quite clearly.

Washing a person's feet was a low status task in NT times. Jesus by washing his disciples feet exhibited his humility and absence of any desire for personal status or power.
