Probably one of the most influential traditions for Pentecostals is that of Zwingli who clearly established that the Lordâs Supper was an opportunity to discover the presence of Christ amongst the hearts of believers and that the words of Christ as the Last Supper are to be taken metaphorically; a meal of joyful fellowship, non-sacrificial and holding equality with preaching yet only to celebrated three or four times a year. It must be recognised that Zwingli was a catholic priest and made great liturgical changes to emphasize his memorial meal. He stripped back the chalice and paten favouring for wooden plates and cups. In doing so he paved the way for the reformed traditions today. Zwingli perceived the meal as an expression of Gods covenant of salvation and a pneumatological orientation. Zwingli did designate the Lordâs Supper as a sacrament which âwas nothing more than an initiatory ceremonyâ¦to sustain our faith.â Holding that man stood in a state of depravity, Zwingli believed that Christ worked throughout the sacral universe and the celebration of the Lordâs Supper were tokens through which the community could spiritually feed upon. He further designated that the meal was to be conducted in an ecclesial setting as a gathered community and only those who were baptised could participate. His emphasis on the role of the Holy Spirit as the operative in presenting Christâs presence in the heart of the believer is of great influence in the Pentecostal tradition. A pivotal influence for Pentecostal theology today is Zwingliâs separation from the other reformed traditions who used Latin or German translations in the interpretative process to adhere to the Greek translations. In doing so he redefined the expression such as sacramentum (with all its philosophical connotations) into memorialism. Pentecostal Theology We now turn the focus of this paper to the Pentecostal theological understanding of communion.
