The Lord’s Supper: A Comparative Study of the Reformed and Pentecostal Model

The Lord’s Supper is a ritual which Lord Jesus Christ himself instituted and designed for the church to practice as a memorial of his death. Jesus instituted the ordinance of the Last Supper also known as the Lord’s Supper on the night of His betrayal. The Lord’s Supper, also known as “Holy Communion” is practiced by all Christian Churches. Yet, it has in fact kept back, and at a standstill does remain, right from history, what separate Christian groups from each other. This work analysed and explored comparatively the differences between the Reformed and the Pentecostal models of the Lord’s Supper. The paper concluded among others, that their major point of departure is the Reformed accept as true the actual attendance of Jesus in the Lord’s Supper spiritually or symbolically.
