I have been pondering on this issue for long. Does participating in holy Communion has any effect without being baptized by immersion or sprinkling?
In the new testament the Bible talks about the gentils who does not circumcise their offspring but are received by the apostle Paul
The same Bible said you should not dine with ungodly fellows,lest you become unclean.


In Act chapter 10:45 it says, the Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the holy spirit had been poured out upon the Gentils,too.


Now, what is the difference taken holy Communion without been baptized and allowing the holy spirit to baptized us with the gift of holy spirit, knowing fully well that participating in holy Communion does not mean we would not sin again . Jesus said do this in remembrance of me.did he exclude the gentils? If he does there is partiality in there ..and if there is partiality then the gentils wouldn't have received the holy spirit.


Please move to the right section.

No effect whatsoever

It is what you believe, why some churches don't allow non-baptized to partake claiming they eat it in condemnation and can affect them phycially or spiritually or otherwise, many churches allow everyone to take it.
What am I saying? while some churches think non-baptized taking holy communion does it for his harm, some don't believe in such and nothing in reality happens to non-baptized who takes it in these churches.
One God, different doctrines.
Whatever you believe in.

smile... i have done it once.


although, i'm nt a church regular.

There are different doctrines regarding the communion table, but Jesus himself did not specify who should participate in the communion and who should not. For example, in JOHN 6 vs 53, Jesus was like speaking to everyone... ("If you do not eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you...". He didn't make any specification.
.
Paul's letter to the church in Corinth has always been the anchor point of most churches which has consequently brought about the restrictions placed on the communion table. In 1 Corinthians 11 vs 21, Paul's instruction was to avoid eating the communion in an unworthy manner where some get full and drunk without waiting for other brethren. Paul wasn't referring to the baptized or unbaptized, sinners or righteous, but to whoever takes the communion in such manner as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11 vs .21.
The instruction from Apostle Paul is simple: wait for one another during communion (1 Cor. 11 vs 33 and 34)
