Lord's Supper

What is the minimal acceptable age for a person to be accepted to partake the Lord’s Supper?

There are two vital ordinances that the Church is to observed that is the baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Partaking of the bread symbolizes the breaking of Christ’s body and the cup symbolized the pouring out of Christ’s blood for us. This is why when we participate in the Lord’s Supper we are actually proclaiming what is said in I Cor. 11:26 “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes”. Other than that it also means that we are participating in or sharing in the benefit earned for us by the death of Jesus.

There is no mention of minimal age in the Bible in partaking of the Lord’s Supper. As to my understanding after referring and gathering from the theology book, it is clearly stated that the Lord’s Supper is only taken by those who believe in Jesus Christ. That is those who have accepted Jesus as their personal saviour. This is as a sign of being Christian and continuing in the Christian life. This depends on the maturity of the young believer. It is important for this new believer to understand the real meaning of the Lord’s Supper and to partake it with great reverend. The maturity in a child is different from one to another.
