Only baptized believers who have examined themselves and are in fellowship with Christ and His church should partake in the Lord's Supper.
Participation in the Lord's Supper is reserved for those who have made a profession of faith in Christ, are baptized, and have undergone self-examination. As stated in 1 Corinthians 11:27, individuals must come to the table in a worthy manner, recognizing the significance of the elements as symbols of Christ’s sacrifice. This means being in right standing with God and His church, thus ensuring that the act of communion reflects genuine faith and intention. Those who do not possess faith or are in ongoing unrepentant sin are encouraged to wait, as the Supper is a sacred ordinance meant for the edification of believers.
