Q&A: Women receiving Communion — implied by context of 1 Corinthians and the general gathered assembly

A Biblical Analysis of Infant Baptism 00:55:13 – 00:56:17

A viewer attempts a parallel argument: women are not explicitly shown receiving Communion in Scripture yet no one denies it.

Winger responds that women are implicitly included in the gatherings described in 1 Corinthians where Communion is discussed — they are in the greetings lists and the gathered assembly. The argument about infant baptism is different because the Cornelius-type passages actually exclude infants actively, whereas women are affirmed as part of the community. Jesus had women disciples, which was countercultural for a rabbi.
