With that kind of emphasis being made how can we NOT do it???
YET, there are things that we do not do where there is no scripture that says one way or the other.
My question is IF Communion is continued then why not foot washing? Were they not done at the same time?
Where they not equally important?
I think we have become too proud to wash one anothers feet. And PRIDE WILL bring us down.

A thimball a grape juice and tiny piece of cracker ? I'm not so sure we do quite do communoin or the Lord's Supper as the early apostolic did.
As far as Peter having no part with the Lord if he if he did not allowed to wash him. The washing refered to was a cleansing of his soul by the blood, not a foot washing.
As far as being told we are to do unto each other as he did. Again humble service of the greater to the lesser is implied here. Not necesarily footwashing forever in the 21st century.
Footwashing was a common practice among Jews and others alike in Bible times. It was not something that was of religeous signifagance.
To make it a salvational issue... I can't quite fathom that.
If it is, then how many times does one have to wash feet to make it to heaven?
Is once enough...10 times enough??
