Q: Should I participate in communion if I’m not baptized?

I’ve answered a similar question in a previous post. I’ll remind you of a few things about communion:

• Communion is primarily relational in nature; we don’t partake in communion because it is our duty. Rather we participate because it is our delight. It is born out of a genuine relationship with God. It’s critical to understand this point.
• Have you talked to your mother about why she doesn’t want you to be baptized? Biblically, there is no appropriate AGE when one can be baptized. When you become a Christian, and understand the importance and significance of baptism, you should get baptized.
• Remember, the church is not trying to be legalistic in this matter. We ask (but not force) people to refrain from communion until they profess their faith publicly in baptism.
