Communion

 

Taking Communion is definetly a blessing. If you are a Christian, I recommend that you attend a church this Easter for their sunrise service. It is a perfect time to honor, worship, and thank Jesus for the ultimate sacrifice He gave on the cross. However, many people fear taking Communion in an unworthy manner.

 

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 seems to mean that if someone takes Communion (remembers Jesus’ body that was broken for them by eating the bread and the new testament in Jesus’ blood by drinking the wine or grape juice) and has never prayed or made a decision to get saved, they can’t be forgiven and will go to Hell. 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 also seems to mean that if someone has prayed or made a decision to get saved in the past and takes Communion in an unworthy manner (not caring, doing it to make fun of Jesus, not giving much thought about it, or eating the bread only because they are hungry or drinking a bunch of the wine in order to get drunk), they aren’t really saved, and they are unable to get saved and will go to Hell. However, if someone takes Communion and isn’t saved or has prayed or made a decision to get saved but takes it in an unworthy manner, but they feel guilty, sorry for what they have done, and they want God to forgive them (Psalm 51:17), then that person is chastened of the Lord so they won’t be condemned with the world (1 Corinthians 11:32; Hebrews 12:5–11).  If someone feels guilty, sorry, and they want God to forgive them for taking Communion because they wasn’t saved before they took it, they took it in an unworthy manner, or they had prayed or made a decision to get saved but took it in an unworthy manner, then that means they are able to get saved or stay saved.

 

However, if someone has not prayed or made a decision to get saved and they take Communion, and they “never” feel guilty, sorry, or want God to forgive them (Psalm 51:17), then that proves that person is “not” able to get saved because their heart has become too hard (Matthew 12:22-32; Proverbs 29:1). If someone has prayed or made a decision to get saved and they take Communion in an unworthy manner (not caring, doing it to make fun of Jesus, not giving much thought about it, or eating the bread only because they are hungry or drinking a bunch of the wine in order to get drunk), and they “never” feel guilty, sorry, or want God to forgive them (Psalm 51:17), they was never saved in the first place (Matthew 12:22-32; Proverbs 29:1).
