When Are Children Ready for Their First Communion? Dr. Michael A. Milton Author 2021 16 Apr
God instituted two sacraments for the people of God. The
sign of identification with the family of God (circumcision/baptism) and the
sign of remembrance of our salvation, and participation in the Lord‘s life, and unity with the Body of Christ (Passover/Lords supper). The former shall be applied to all believers and their children. The latter is administered by a consecrated, tested, and received minister of the gospel to all baptized believers who have professed their faith in Jesus Christ, and who have an understanding of the mystery of the body and blood of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion.
