A few questions regarding baptism and the Lord's Supper
1. Does your church, session, etc. permit the partaking of the Lord's Supper by a visiting Baptist (for Presbyterians) or a visiting Presbyterian (for Baptists)? This is assuming that the person has a credible profession of faith. The reason I ask is that some (most) baptists require immersion as a prerequisite for partaking of the Lord's Supper and I saw on another thread a Presbyterian saying that you had to be a Presbyterian to partake of the Lord's Supper in his church.
2. This question is more for Baptists but the Presbyterians are welcome to weigh in as well. If you live in a climate or scenario where baptism is sometimes difficult during certain parts of the year (cold weather, no baptistry), would you permit a person who has recently made a profession of faith to partake of the Lord's Supper before they are baptized or would you require them to wait the necessary time until arrangements can be made to immerse them? This is not necessarily as much trouble for Presbyterians because you don't need as much water.
