It is unquestionable that infants and young children were allowed at the Lord’s table in the early church. Calvin and Musculus admit as much.

We’re concerned with the more pressing question regarding the participants in the Supper. Here, our interests are focused on “who may partake?” rather than “what does it mean to partake?” This question is indeed more pressing, because if we aren’t granting admittance to all those for whom Christ has given his body and blood, it will avail little to the church.
