Mike Yaconelli

"Growing up I heard about the dangers of "drinking the cup in an unworthy manner" - how the Lord's Supper was only for professin Christians. The proof text, of course, was always 1 Corinthians 11 v 29 'For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself.' Since most Christians assume that all humanity is doomed apart from Christ, just how much would taking the elements affect a so-called unbeliever's fate? Would they go to hell twice? Or might it be a powerful experience with the story of Christ?"
