Here's a question I was asked by a Brother in Christ:

How often does your church take communion? And do you think it is only
for at church and how often?

So, tell me what you think.

I has a lady ask me this ( in the bold) on my Google Group (People-4-
christ)

And thank to Kris for me getting this done ( She ask on my Xanga when
I going to post a new post).


Ok, At the church I go to, we do it when every the pastor want to do
it! We has done it 2 times this year so far. We alway to it around
Easter. I believe that the Lord's Supper is for anyone that saved and
Scripturally Baptized.

Who can do the Lord's Supper?
A saved person (Heb 13:10).
Scripturally Baptized (Matt 28:20).
A member of the particular local church, in good standing, not under
discipline (Matt 26:20).
An orderly walk devoid of offense to his fellow church members.
Participants must examine themselves (1Cor 11:28), so before we
partake of the Lord's Supper, we should examine ourselves as to
whether:

We be in the faith (2Cor 13:5)
We have been scripturally baptized
We are in good fellowship with the church, our Pastor, and each member
Our life is orderly
We are partaking for the right purpose

My church do close communion. I also believe that a church should use
pure unfermented grape juice in the Lord's Supper.

Ok, How often? Like I say my church do it when the pastor want to.
First Baptist Church of Hammond, IN, do it every 6 weeks. Some people
believe that churches should only do it one time a year. I not sure, I
like doing more than 1 time a year, but I think doing it every 6 weeks
might be too much.

I hope that help, I would like to know what do my readers's church do?
