Taylor's importance as a theologian was in his role in the controversy concerning the question of who may partake of the Lord's Supper. The New England Congregationalist Puritans of the 1630's and 1640's developed a view of the Church that was distinct from even their Puritan friends across the Atlantic. The New England Puritans came to believe that a profession of faith, and living a scandal free life was not sufficient to be a communing member of the Puritan local assemblies. In order to qualify to become a communing member of their local assembly one must first be able to relate by testimony, a subjective experience sufficiently impressive enough to convince others in the body that you were indeed one of the very elect of God. The New England Puritans had effectively devised a test to make each Church a company of people, each of whom, in his own opinion, and in the opinion of the Church was destined for salvation. [Morgan, Edmund (1963). [Visible Saints: The History of a Puritan Idea] ". Cornell University Press. p. 62. 1963.] Affirming the truths of Christianity, and following Christ in your everyday life, would no longer be enough; every communing Christian became required to relate an experience akin to the Apostle Paul's Damascus road experience. Edward Taylor would not only adopt this new view, he ended up becoming one of its most vocal defenders. [Davis, Thomas & Virginia Ed's(1981). [Edward Taylor vs. Solomon Stoddard] ". University of Delaware Press. p. 48. 1997.]
