Why do Baptist's not take the "other" ordinance so seriously?

An unbeliever is a person who has never been born again. I used "unrepentant sinner" to describe a professing believer who is in unrepentant sin. I believe the scripture clearly teaches (1 Cor. 11) that a believer can sin and be chastened by God if they do not repent. Of course, only God knows the heart and whether the professed believer who is in sin is actually a believer. The approach they have to dealing with sin in their life before coming to the Lord's table speaks volumes.

I know what an unbeliever is...it is an unrepentant sinner. I was confused by your use of both in ascribing to two different camps.

Do you know of any place in the Scripture where the leaven argument is used for wine? So far as I know, it is used only for bread.

The home was to be purged of leaven...all leaven. Freshly squeezed grape juice would qualify as something containing leaven. Only wine could be accepted. Wine has been used for thousands of years, and is still used to this day in Passover.

I could have used a different term but "unrepentant Christian" is such an oxymoron.

Numbers 6:3 "...and shall not drink any juice of grapes..."

Number 6:5 applies to the same person.

"All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall pass over his head. He shall be holy until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord; he shall let the locks of hair on his head grow long."
