I've been having conversations with a friend about children taking communion. I am very uncomfortable with the idea of children taking communion in general, though I also cannot rule out the possibility of a child demonstrating maturity and discernment where communion may be appropriate. But I've not seen such maturity in children I know (six and seven-year-olds being the age group specifically under consideration).
1 Cor. 11 would be my primary consideration in discouraging children from communion, since generally there is a lack of knowledge and maturity in them.
What considerations and verses might help our conversation?
Thanks!
