● 1Cor 11:25 . . This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
I would have to say that 1Cor 11:25 implies that nobody, no exceptions, should partake of the wine element of the communion service without at least first knowing what the new covenant says; and after knowing what it says; are on board with it.
For everyone's convenience who may be interested, below is the location of the new covenant in the Old Testament along with its text copied word for word from the 2011 Catholic Bible. The wording of other versions may differ.
FYI: The word "oracle" refers to God's statements. In other words; an oracle is a quote. For example Ex 4:22 where Moses is instructed to announce: Thus says the LORD; Israel is my son, my firstborn.
● Jer 31:31-34 . . See, days are coming-- oracle of the LORD --when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. They broke my covenant, though I was their master-- oracle of the LORD.
. . . But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days-- oracle of the LORD. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people. They will no longer teach their friends and relatives, “Know the LORD!” Everyone, from least to greatest, shall know me-- oracle of the LORD --for I will forgive their iniquity and no longer remember their sin.
See also the 8th chapter of the letter to Hebrews.
