They understood Jesus meant for them to serve one another.

There are those that wash feet at every oportunity but they have no clue as to how to serve their brothers or sisiters TODAY and miss countless opportunity's to humbly serve others.

They go wash some feet and all their guilt is gone.

This supposed command Jesus gave. It was recorded conversation between Jesus and 12 people he was teaching an object lesson on humble service.

He told them they should follow his EXAMPLE. We have absolutley no record if there was ever another foot washing service in the early church.

Communion Paul delt with in 1 Corinthians with no mention to them of footwashing.

Foot wash all you want. but to condemn those who prefer not to in this day and age is not right.
Wrong again. 1Tim 5:9-10 it was a qualification for a widow indeed. Note also in Acts where it mentions the breaking of bread nothing is said about the drinking the cup because it was understood it was included. Since the feetwashing was the same service the same could be said about it.
