: Why "credible profession of faith" of penitent, baptized church members is not the biblically sufficient criterion for admission to the Lord's Supper
text version: https://honest2blog.blogspot.com/2024/04/about-close-confessional-communion.html
The usual standard for admission to the Lord's Supper in Orthodox Presbyterian Church (and other NAPARC) congregations is that the would-be communicant have a credible profession of faith in the gospel, live penitently, and be a baptized member of a gospel-believing church. The confessional Presbyterian & Reformed view of close communion or confessional communion is not widely known or understood today. Gregory Baus describes the Reformed close/confessional view in contrast to usual OPC practice, and presents some Scriptural and doctrinal support for it.
