There are many references to the spiritual and holy communion in the bible:
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14.
"All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had" Acts 4:3
This text is after the birth of the church in Pentecost, Acts 2:1-4. The disciples receive the Holy Spirit in tongues of fire.
Communion is not simply a sacrament, that is, a visible sign, it is the social expression of the commandment of love: "love your neighbor as yourself" Mark 12:31.
Communion is how God wants men to live, it is the ethical order of society, is the empire or mercy and rectitude among men. In the Christian religion the sacrament of communion follows Baptism, because the communion is the consecuence of the baptism.
Communion is this: life in common, concord with common good; Aristotle explains that concord is a form of frienship, the union of hearts and minds.
Baptism is the passage from a life full of sin to a life of righteousness, it is the inner step, the spiritual easter, from living according to the flesh to living according to the spirit.
The parable of the Good Samaritan explains the difference between living according to the flesh and living according to the spirit. Living according to the spirit is acting in conformity to the golden rule, "do to others what you would have them do to you" in Matthew 7:12. The good and the evil are ethical solutions.
Jesus teach: "The kingdom of God is already among you", Luke 17:21.
The kingdom of God has a double aspect: it is interior and exterior: the interior is the conversion the passage from sin to righteousness; the outside is communion, the ethical order of the community.
