Also reformed churches think of themselves as
reformed and ever reforming.

Reformed theology came out of the Reformation and in
particular the theology of Calvin (1509-1564), although its roots go back to
Augustine (345-430), it was formulated by the puritans, especially in the
Westminster confession of faith (1646). This Confession is the enduring fruit
of the solemn Assembly of some 100 leading Puritan divines, convened at
Westminster Abbey in London from July 1, 1643 through to Feb.,1649. Other
reformed confessions: Belgic (1580), Baptist (1689), 39 Articles of the Church
of England - Anglican and Episcopal (1571, 1662, 1801)
- Sola Scriptura: The Scripture Alone is the Standard
- Soli Deo Gloria! For the Glory of God Alone
- Solo Christo! By Christ's Work Alone are We Saved
- Sola Gratia: Salvation by Grace Alone
- Sola Fide: Justification by Faith Alone
Reformed theology
holds to the five points of Calvanism, although not all Calvanists would be
reformed. ShieldsFamily <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
