The first, http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2012/june/when-are-we-going-to-grow-up.html.believes that we have gotten off track with our worship, it has become juvenile and not spiritually mature.
"Teenagers can legitimately follow Christ in adolescent ways, including participating in age-appropriate youth ministries.

What follows delves into how this may play out when considering the practice of "communion without baptism."
