Reformed Faith and Theology

Arminius and the Remonstrants by W. Robert Godfrey Jacobus (James) Arminius (1559–1609), ironically, is the most famous theologian ever produced by the Dutch Reformed Church. Arminius’ biography is simple. He was born in the province of Holland in about 1559. His father had died in the war against Spain, leaving the family quite poor. Authorities supported his education, re..

Is the Reformed Church the True Church? by Francis Turretin I. Since it is evident from what has been said in the preceding question that the Roman church of this day is not the true church of Christ, it cannot be less clear from the rule of opposites that this title cannot be denied to the Reformed and evangelical churches (which seceded from Rome, in communion with which ther..

What is Semi-Pelagianism?Semi-Pelagianism is theological position midway between Pelagianism and the teachings of Augustine of Hippo regarding the origins of the experience of salvation. Pelagianism placed salvation in the power of human free-will; Augustine ascribed salvation (regeneration, new birth) wholly to God's grace; the Semi-pelagians held that salvation was initially ..

믿음과 구원 & 믿음과 행위 (Faith and Salvation & Faith and Works) 존 그레섬 메이천(John Gresham Machen) 구원을 얻음과 관련하여, 믿음이 믿음의 단순한 측면으로 간주될 수 있는 것들을 제외한 인간 속에 있는 사랑과 그 어떤 것에도 반(反)하여, 신약성경에서 그렇게 독점적인 위치를 갖는 참된 이유는, 믿음이 어떤 것을 받아들이는 것을 의미하는 것이지, 어떤 것을 하거나 심지어 어떤 것이 되는 것을 의미하지 않기 때문이다. 그러므로 우리의 믿음이 우리를 구원한다고 말하는 것은 심지어 가장 사소한 면에 있어서라도 우리가 우리 자신을 구원하는 것이 아니라, 하나님께서 우리를 구원하신다는 것을 의미하는 것이다. 만일 우리의 구원이 사랑으로 말미암는다고 한다면, 사..

Ten Things I Learned from Reformed Scholasticism by Wes Bredenhof (Free Reformed Church of Launceston) Though not nearly as often as previously, I still sometimes see the word “scholastic” used as a pejorative – in other words, as a nasty term. If someone is deemed “scholastic,” then he must be one of the bad guys in the history of theology. It’s similar to the word..

What Is Calvinism? by Herman Selderhuis "Calvinism" emerged as a term of insult from Lutherans addressing Reformed Protestants in order to separate themselves emphatically from the Reformed doctrine of the Lord’s Supper.
