Participating in Communion is not a requirement for living a Christian life. Communion is a celebration of our Lord and should be a part of our Christian life.
Matt 5:17-20
17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. 18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. 19 "Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and so teaches others, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. NAS
When was the last time you ate pork or lobster; when was the last time you observed the Sabbath? If you eat pork or lobster and don't observe the Sabbath and teach others to do the same you have annuled part of the law.
