Ellen White's writings do not explicitly state that a non-baptized person cannot have communion. Instead, she emphasizes the following principles:
- Christ's example forbids exclusiveness at the Lord's Supper. Open sin excludes the guilty, but "beyond this none are to pass judgment. God has not left it with men to say who shall present themselves on these occasions. For who can read the heart? Who can distinguish the tares from the wheat? 'Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.'" (Desire of Ages, p. 656.1)
- Every disciple is called upon to participate publicly in communion, bearing witness that he accepts Christ as a personal Saviour. (Desire of Ages, p. 656.4)
- The focus is on self-examination and faith in Christ, rather than on human-imposed restrictions regarding baptismal status.
Therefore, according to Ellen White's writings, there is no direct statement that a non-baptized person is forbidden from participating in communion. The emphasis is on personal faith, self-examination, and not passing judgment on others' worthiness to participate.
