Hello;
As I visit churches, most have given me the Lord's Supper but severely Baptist churches have had me speak, they support my work, and yet insist that visiting missionaries refrain from the Lord's Supper and only local members partake.
Is this normal? Or is this, too, part of the infection of Landmarkism?
What is the appropriate response?
What is the history behind this practice. I know that the Philadephia Baptist Association partook together at associational meetings.
Also, a related question:
-During a missionary field conference, where there is a worship service and elder-qualified men coming together, should missionary field conferences partake of the Lord's Supper together? How about at associational meetings between churches?
