I think some people use the "Jesus hung out with sinners" argument to almost justify or imply that we should be sinners. But Jesus hung out with Pharisees and devils as well.
The Lord's table was something reserved for his closest disciples and not something offered just to any person.

I would say there are three things that distinguish the closest disciples of the Lord:
1. What things soever they shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever they shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
2. If two of them agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of the Father who is in heaven.
3. The Lord Jesus is in the midst of them.
Would you agree with this?
