The Lord’s Supper (or Communion) is a ceremony or ritual designed to remind believers of the death of the Lord Jesus. The believer should also take time during this ceremony to evaluate his own spiritual condition, confessing and repenting of sin if necessary. The Lord’s Supper should be a serious time of reflection and worship, producing joy and thanksgiving in the believer’s life.
Baptists believe that the Lord’s Supper does not impart grace to the participants. Believers should participate, but the ceremony does not aid or strengthen one’s salvation.
