While Jesus was living with the disciples promises them eternal life and the inner teacher: "For everyone will be salted with fire", Mark 9:49. Fire symbolizes the purifying power of the holy spirit like water, but in this case fire represents the second birth, the birth of the spirit: "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.", John 3:5-6.
This promise is made on the Feast of Pentecost, and that day is known as the day of the birth of the church. Disciples receive God's blessing and the power of the spirit to perform miracles, teach, prophesy, and live in communion.
The life in common, the communion is one of the most important blessings of the spirit of wisdom: “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. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all.”, Acts 4:32-33

Communion is the correct or ethical order of society, it is the rule of righteousness ("Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, Matthew 7:12) and mercy (compassion, kindness, gentleness) among men. The holy spirit manifests itself through numerous spiritual gifts: "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them", 1 Corinthians 12:4. Just as there are individual gifts like piety or prophesy, there are also social gifts like peace, and communion is a social gift.
Communion opposes oppression and the teaching of error (heresy). The grace of God as the book of Acts explains to us is manifested in all its power through life in common.
