威斯敏斯特大要理问答

问172: 那怀疑自己是否在基督里，或怀疑自己是否预备得当的人，可不可以来领主的晚餐?

答: 那怀疑自己是否在基督里，或怀疑自己是否预备得当来领受主的晚餐圣礼的人，可能是真正在基督里有分，虽然他还没有对此确信；如果他因担忧自己未在基督里而深感困扰，并且真诚渴慕得以在基督里、远离罪恶，则上帝算他是有分的: [因为上帝赐下应许，设立此圣礼，为要释放软弱与怀疑的基督徒]，所以在此情况下，他务要痛悔自己的不信，努力解除自己的疑惑；他这样作之后，则他可以并且应该来领主的晚餐，使他得以再次被坚固。

Q. 172. May one who doubteth of his being in Christ, or of his due preparation, come to the Lord's supper?

A. One who doubteth of his being in Christ, or of his due preparation to the sacrament of the Lord's supper, may have true interest in Christ, though he be not yet assured thereof; and in God's account hath it, if he be duly affected with the apprehension of the want of it, and unfeignedly desires to be found in Christ, and to depart from iniquity: in which case (because promises are made, and this sacrament is appointed, for the relief even of weak and doubting Christians) he is to bewail his unbelief, and labor to have his doubts resolved; and, so doing, he may and ought to come to the Lord's supper, that he may be further strengthened.

问173: 任何告白信仰并愿意来领主的晚餐者，可以遭到禁止吗?

答: 那些被发现是无知妄解或恶名昭彰的人，虽然他们告白信仰且愿意来领主的晚餐，然而基督的教会根据祂所赐的权柄，可以且应当禁止他们领受此圣礼，直到他们领受教训并且显出他们悔改归正之后。

Q. 173. May any who profess the faith, and desire to come to the Lord's supper, be kept from it?

A. Such as are found to be ignorant or scandalous, notwithstanding their profession of the faith, and desire to come to the Lord's supper, may and ought to be kept from that sacrament, by the power which Christ hath left in his church, until they receive instruction, and manifest their reformation.
