One more thing. If I attend a PCA or EPC church service, will I be denied communion since I am Lutheran?
No. Presbyterians do not practice closed communion, but rather merely restrict communion to baptized members of Christian churches.
Also, you should probably know that, in many ways, the PCA is just as conservative as the LCMS (I was LCMS for years). On the other hand, it's not as "liturgical", so maybe you could tell us when you say that the LCMS is too conservative.
I was reading a post above about communion and baptized members of a Christian church. I don't consider myself a Catholic anymore, just a Christian, but I haven't been baptized according to the Bible, so would I be able to take communion?
I said baptized according to the Bible because the Christians I have talked to said that to take communion or participate in the service I need to be immersed in water. They don't hold infant baptism as true.
Do Presbyterians not take the Bible literally whenever it comes to baptism?
I was baptized in the Catholic Church yes as an infant.
