I apologize for not commenting directly to the topic, but from my experience from comments made about the Reformation, I would like to note the distinctions between these various and divergent theological movements. There is this view that Martin Luther is to blame for everything that is wrong with Protestantism. Luther was not the first Protestant reformer, and there were many reformers before, during, and after Luther that had no connection with Luther’s reformation. In fact, the Lutheran Confessions denounce the beliefs and practices of the Anabaptists and Calvinists. Do not confuse Lutheranism with Calvinism or Arminianism. They are profoundly different.
Hi Nosterrex. All you say is true, but I don’t see how this relates to the point of this article?
