Aldo lays out a comprehensive biblical, confessional, and theological critique of the practice, calling it not only unwise but spiritually dangerous. This extended, detailed polemic is intended to provide clarity, correction, and pastoral guidance to Reformed churches facing pressure to normalize or tolerate paedocommunion. Discussion Highlights A biblical and confessional explanation of why the Lord’s Supper is a sign of covenant renewal—not initiation—and is reserved for true believers. The essential role of the Holy Spirit in the efficacy of sacraments, and why participation without faith, repentance, and self-examination is both meaningless and dangerous. A deep dive into the Westminster Confession and Catechisms on the qualifications for partaking of the Lord’s Supper. Refutation of the common arguments for paedocommunion from Old Testament Passover and household language. The dangers of collapsing the visible and invisible church, leading to presumptive regeneration and sacramentalism. How paedocommunion reflects deeper theological errors: confusion between sacrament and salvation, family-centered over Christ-centered theology, and Romanizing tendencies toward sacramental grace. A pastoral call to reformation in worship, preaching, and catechesis to foster true conversion in covenant children rather than administering sacraments presumptively.
