Infant Communion is based. Any Church that practices it and believes in real presence is based.
False. Infant communion is contrary to scripture (1 Corinthians 11:27-29). Only adults can receive communion because only they can examine themselves before reception as St. Paul teaches us to do. Infant communion is a Greek accretion that is not supported in the Bible. Become Lutheran.
>>18257158Many attendees of the Councils of Carthage, like Saint Augustine, mention infant communion as a positive norm. Canon was confirmed by people who expected infant communion.
>>18257158>Become Lutheran.Why would anyone do that
>>18257186Because they aren't preppy enough to become Episcopalian and have their preppy children take communion as God intended.
>>18257158>Lutheranenjoy hell!!!
>>18257194>preppy ethno-religionBased and Hallmark-pilled
>>18257158Operating word is in 11:27, ἀναξίως, unworthy, children from within the covenant are worthy. Christ is the pascal lamb. Etc. Until age of reason this is unquestionable, you have to baptize infants and make them take communion. Question is after age of reason if they can refuse to take Christ's bread or not or if that is an issue of honoring father/mother. Think of the covenant theory here. Christians as early as 100 AD agreed with this.
>>18257158(Based) Lutherans literally do this.
>>18257144>>18257194>>18257244>>18257254Is this exclusively a Orthodox and Anglo thing? Because Presbyterians also do it.
>>18257144infants don't need intermediaries between them and God
>>18257585You don't think Toddlers deserve to eat the body/blood of Christ?
>>18257184Yes and did you know St. Augustine also thought infant communion was necessary for the salvation of infant? Yet nobody thinks this today.
>>18257878It is necessary for the Salvation of Toddlers and infants.
>>18257585>>18257878What religion is this poster? Are there actual Christians who don't believe in original sin?
>>18258306I am not responsible for what Eve did. I reject and rebuke the doctrine of original sin.
>>18258306>Are there actual Christians who don't believe in original sin?Yes. Eastern Orthodox.
>>18258349So no real Christians then. Thanks.
>>18258356Since when have Protestants ever been Christians?
>>18257844They should be able to discern that it is truly the body of Christ before eating.As Paul wrote.
>>18258466Yeah. And a toddler would know that. Sounds like you just don't think it's obvious. Not very elect sounding huh.
>>18258847Where in the Bible is infant communion mentioned? Chapter and verse please.
>>18258466Not what he wrote. One see: >>18257254 two you are talking about διακρίνων which depends on your theory of the Eucharist. If we are talking reformed theory (Spiritual Presence) 100% would be διακρίνων to an elect individual. Should be for real presence theories including Anglican's schizo Consubstantiation. Issue would only be for Zwinglist positions.
>>18258872Matthew 19:14 21:15-16 Mark 10:14 Luke 18:16 If you believe in real presence it makes sense.
>>18257144God isn't real, so this is pointless.
