I'm reposting this, becuase I think it may have gotten passed over. Although I have changed the name (obviously), the following is a very real situation, and would really like to hear some opinions on it. Thanks all!

Ok, let's try this scenario:
Jane Doe is a Christian. Her parents (who she still lives with) attend an Assemblies of God church. They are not members, therefore, she is not a member. Jane begins reading the Bible and is introduced to Reformed theology. She completely agrees with it. One Sunday, she decides to visit her local reformed church. They have Communion that Sunday.
Since Jane is not a member of any church, yet still a Christian, how do you justify barring her from the Lord's Table? (that is an honest question, not a rhetorical one)
Can you show me something in Scripture and/or the confessions that support barring her from the Lord's Table? (again, an honest question, not rhetorical. I could not find anything in Scripture or the confessions. As a matter of fact, I believe the confessions support permitting Jane Doe to partake, rather than barring her. But, I'd love to hear all of your opinions.)
Thanks all! [/quote:a032d83279]
