The concept of holiness has played a significant role in Pentecostal identity. Worship has also been a defining feature of Pentecostalism, and for British Pentecostals, the ultimate locus of worship was historically around the Lord’s Table at the weekly Breaking of Bread service. Here at the Table holiness and worship met in the presence of the Lord, and in that meeting of the two the Gifts of the Spirit flowed, healing was found at the Table, and the Spirit-filled gathered congregation were sent back out into the world, renewed and refreshed as witnesses of the living Lord. While the Breaking of Bread could involve either intense joy or tears of repentance, it constantly bore witness to the seriousness with which Pentecostals took the holiness of God and His sanctification of His people. This article draws on historic British Pentecostal Eucharistic worship in working towards a Pentecostal theological account of holiness.

圣洁的概念在五旬节派的身份中发挥了重要作用。崇拜也是五旬节派的一个决定性特征，对于英国五旬节派来说，崇拜的终极地点历来是在每周的擘饼服务中围绕主桌举行。在餐桌上，圣洁和敬拜在主面前相遇，在这两者的相遇中，圣灵的恩赐流动了，在餐桌上找到了医治，被圣灵充满的会众被送回了世界，作为永生主的见证人而焕然一新。虽然擘饼会带来强烈的喜乐或悔改的泪水，但它不断见证五旬节派对上帝的圣洁和祂对祂子民的成圣的严肃态度。
