It has been a long time since I shared an \u201cAsk Me Anything\u201d article\u2014which is to say, since I publicly answered a selection of the questions that have come my way in the past while. But here, at long last, is my attempt to remedy this.<\/p>\n
Can a believer take communion at another Bible-believing church besides his own.<\/strong><\/p>\n Generally, yes. But there are two important matters to consider: your convictions and the church\u2019s convictions.<\/p>\n Before I explain what I mean, though, I\u2019m glad that the question assumes two factors that I regard as important. The first is that this communion is being celebrated in the context of a local church rather than a camp, conference, or other kind of gathering that is something less than the local church. The second is that this is a Bible-believing church, which I take to mean a true rather than a false church. These are both important because Christians have long held that the Lord\u2019s Supper is properly celebrated in the local church and that the right administration of the sacraments (or ordinances) is a mark of a true and healthy church.<\/p>\n As for participating as a guest in a church<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It has been a long time since I shared an \u201cAsk Me Anything\u201d article\u2014which is to say, since I publicly answered a selection of the questions that have come my way in the past while.
