Divorce vs Homosexuality

What do you mean by "rejected me"?

I was the song leader in both churches, and the deacons in both churches wanted me removed from that position.

Can you explain how it plays out in the service? I'm genuinely curious how one would orchestrate it today.

I suppose the best way to do that would be to have a closed communion, with only the members participating. Most Baptist churches I've been in had an open communion and let the people choose to participate or refrain.

In all my churches, I announced beforehand, "As baptized believers we will celebrate the Lord's Supper." I did not police the table, but left the responsibility up to the people.

Cheers,

Jim

When I was in Ukraine, and the church I was visiting had communion, if a person could not/should not partake, the pastor directed the deacon from the pulpit to pass him/her over.

Wow - I can see THAT as being a sticky situation!!
