I grew up in a Canadian Lutheran Parish in fellowship with Lutheran MS my 2 year confirmation classes my Pastor taught close communion. The MS Lutheran Parish we went to in Houston, TX had a invite to Communion for all that were baptized in the name of GOD Father, Son and Holy Spirit and recognized that this is the Body and Blood of our LORD and Savior.
I have heard the 1st Corinthians passage taught regarding the Lord supper from. St Paul as some were unworthy eating and drinking the meal because they were eating it as a common meal , and some of those who had the means to host the supper were not leaving much for the less wealthy to partake in.
I'm a former Baptist, and currently a "not-yet" Lutheran. There's a theme i keep noticing with non-Lutheran theology, or practice, in that it ends up precisely backwards. For example - no one talks about it this way but - Baptists (and similar) practice "Closed Baptism", and then give communion to anyone. They try to "confirm" someone before baptizing them, but its precisely backwards. It makes so much more sense the other way around. Baptize anyone into the faith, when they know nothing. Give it out freely to everyone. Then afterward, guard and shepherd their conscience alongside them in communion. (Also, the Sasse book over your shoulder has be very helpful for me, this month)
