有人提問關於是否接受洗禮才能領聖餐。在此簡單闡述一下。細節請私下聯繫。

聖經上說「信而受洗必然得救」，並非說信而受洗才能領聖餐。首先說明一下「信而受洗必然得救」，「信」是得救的充分與必要條件，受洗卻是得救的非必要條件，例如：下雨，雨水落到地面，地就會濕，但地濕了並不表示一定是因為下雨了。聖經中憑信得救，但沒有受洗的最佳例子就是和耶穌同釘十字架的兩個犯人之一，因為信主耶穌是主自己所聲稱的那一位，所以“耶穌對他說：「我實在告訴你，今日你要同我在樂園裏了。」”路加福音 23:43 RCUV

他相信就得救了，並無洗禮，因當下的情況不許可。如果人有洗禮卻沒有信的實際，這個洗禮只是空洞的儀式罷了。例如，有些人為了達到申請政治庇護移民美國的目的，所以到教會去受洗，拿到受洗證，人就消失了，所要的是受洗證這張紙，並沒有相信的實際。這只是舉例說明，希望有助理解，可能有不完全處或例外因素。

聖餐的杯與餅本身並沒有贖罪的功效，因為真正的贖罪工作是主耶穌基督在十字架上已經成就了，聖餐儀式只是藉著杯與餅紀念主耶穌為我們受死贖罪的一種外在形式。如同水洗禮，本身沒有潔淨罪的功效，只是内在罪得赦免的外在形式。但領受這兩個禮時，要有信的實際與基礎才有意義。

尤其領受聖餐必須謹慎，要省察自己的罪，許多敎會是規定決志信主之後，也公開受洗宣告才可領聖餐，但聖經中並無如此規定。洗禮也可以是只有兩個人參與的，例如聖經記載了腓利半路遇上的太監，並為他講解經書，太監當場信而受洗，只有他們兩人到河裡，腓利為其施洗，並無特別公開宣告。

Someone asked about whether it’s mandatory to be baptized first then one may receive holy communion. Here is a brief explanation. Please contact us privately for details.

The Bible says that "Anyone believes and is baptized will be saved." It does not say that only believing and be baptized so you can receive the Holy communion . Believe and be baptized will be saved. "Believe/Faith " is a sufficient and necessary condition for salvation, but baptism is a non-essential condition for salvation. For example, when it rains, the rain falls on the ground, so the ground gets wet. But when the ground is wet, it does not necessarily mean it's raining. The best example of being saved by faith, but not being baptized in the Bible is one of the two criminals who were crucified with Jesus. Because believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is the one who he claimed , “Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."" Luke 23:43 NIV

He was saved by believing, without baptism. It’s not allowed in their circumstances. If people got baptized but do not have the reality of faith , this baptism is just an empty ritual . For example, in order to achieve the purpose of applying for political asylum to immigrate to the United States, some people go to church to get baptized, and they disappear once they receive their certificate of baptism. Their purpose is that piece of document. There is no reality of belief. This is just an example but not perfect, because there might be exceptional factors.

The cup and bread of the Holy Communion do not have the effect of atonement, because the real work of atonement is accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. The Communion ceremony is just an external form of commemorating the atonement of the Lord Jesus' death for us through the cup and bread. Like water baptism, it does not have the effect of cleansing sins, but an external form of forgiveness of internal sins. But it is only meaningful to have the reality of faith when one partakes these two rituals.

In particular, one must be cautious when one partakes the holy communion. One must examine one’s own sins. Many churches stipulate that after you have decided to believe in the Lord, you must also be baptized publicly before you can receive the holy communion , but the Bible does not stipulate this. Baptism can also involve only two people. For example, the Bible records that Philip met an eunuch on the road and explained the scriptures for him. The eunuch believed on the spot and was baptized. Only the two of them went to the river and Philip baptized him. There was no special public announcement at the moment of his baptism.

“他們吃的時候，耶穌拿起餅來，祝福，就擘開，遞給門徒，說：「你們拿着吃，這是我的身體」； 又拿起杯來，祝謝了，遞給他們，說：「你們都喝這個； 因為這是我立約的血，為多人流出來，使罪得赦。”馬太福音 26:26-28 CUNP-上帝

“As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take this and eat it, for this is my body.” And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, “Each of you drink from it, for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.” Matthew 26:26-28 NLT

“我當日傳給你們的，原是從主領受的，就是主耶穌被賣的那一夜，拿起餅來， 祝謝了，就擘開，說：「這是我的身體，為你們捨 的，你們應當如此行，為的是記念我。」 飯後，也照樣拿起杯來，說：「這杯是用我的血所立的新約，你們每逢喝的時候，要如此行，為的是記念我。」 你們每逢吃這餅，喝這杯，是表明主的死，直等到他來。 所以，無論何人，不按理吃主的餅，喝主的杯，就是干犯主的身、主的血了。 人應當自己省察，然後吃這餅、喝這杯。 因為人吃喝，若不分辨是 主的 身體，就是吃喝自己的罪了。” 哥林多前書 11:23-29 CUNP-上帝

“For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.” For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again. So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup. For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 NLT

“我喜愛良善 ，不喜愛祭祀； 喜愛認識上帝，勝於燔祭。”何西阿書 6:6 CUNP-上帝

“I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings.” Hosea 6:6 NLT
