Rev. Jim West tackles the increasingly popular practice of paedocommunion: serving the Lord's Supper to children, even babies and toddlers. Reasoning from the Scriptures, Pastor West helps his readers understand the key issues in 125 questions and answers: the definition of paedocommunion, the role of the covenant, the necessity of discerning the Lord's body, church history and paedocommunion, the spiritual dangers of paedocommunion, and more. He faithfully defends the historic, orthodox position and explains why protestant churches have traditionally practiced confessional or credo-communion.The sacraments are a vital practice of the Christian church and an essential means of grace for the individual believer. While protestant denominations may disagree about the nature of the presence of Christ in His Supper, we should all agree that it is for the discerning faithful and that we must protect our little ones from such a grievous error.This new edition also includes his previously published article, Jesus' First Passover: The Relevance of Jesus' First Pilgrim Passover Upon the Age of Coming to the Lord's Supper.
