Pedobaptists Not Open Communionists: A Defense Of Restricted Communion (1847)

By Stephen Remington

Book Overview

Pedobaptists Not Open Communionists: A Defense Of Restricted Communion is a book written by Stephen Remington in 1847. The book provides a defense of the practice of restricted communion, which is the belief that only baptized members of a particular church should be allowed to participate in the Lord's Supper. Remington argues against the open communionists, who believe that anyone who professes faith in Jesus Christ should be allowed to partake in the sacrament, regardless of their church membership or baptism status. He contends that this practice is not supported by scripture and goes against the teachings of the early church.The author specifically addresses the issue of pedobaptism, which is the practice of baptizing infants. He argues that pedobaptists, who baptize infants and children, cannot be open communionists because they do not believe that these individuals have made a personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, they cannot be considered members of the church and should not be allowed to participate in the Lord's Supper.Remington's book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding communion practices in the mid-19th century. It provides a valuable perspective on the theological and practical considerations that influenced the development of these practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
