Were the Corinthians saved even though they were behaving badly and not practicing the Lord's table?
Yes. The Corinthians were already saved in spite of their behavior. They were believers, and their lack of practice of the Lord’s table had nothing to do with their salvation. The Lord’s Supper relates to the purpose and practice of the church program, not to whether these Corinthians were saved.
Les emphasizes that the Lord’s Supper, or communion table, has nothing to do with the salvation of these Corinthians. They are already saved in spite of their behavior; they are believers, and the lack of practice of the Lord’s table has nothing to do with their salvation. Paul is instead delineating the reason and purpose for the Lord’s table in the church program, tying it to his apostolic authority and the gospel he received, which was not after man.
