What age is appropriate for baptism and communion? PART 2

Q: Hello Dr. E. I’ve always been taught that if you have professed your faith in Christ you could participate in the communion. But recently our pastor is preaching that we have to be baptized in order to participate in the communion!

Summary

In this episode, Dr. Michael explores the significance of understanding the gospel, the implications of age restrictions on baptism and communion, and the nature of faith and discipleship. The conversation highlights the importance of childlike faith while cautioning against the dangers of legalism in church practices. Michael and Hanna challenge the idea of arbitrary age limits for baptism and communion, advocating instead for a grace-filled approach to faith and spiritual growth.
