The only thing I know for certain about Communion is that Christ commanded us to do it.

"And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."

As far as I can tell this was intended as a direct commandment to all of his followers for all time, at least until his return.

I consider it extremely unwise to disobey one of his direct commandments.
