In our series on Reformed theology, we have covered the five solas and five points of Calvinism, but Reformed theology must address all of faith and life, so a Reformed church must subscribe to a historic Reformed confession. This post will look at the meaning and importance of being confessional.

Last time, we began to discuss the distinctives of Reformed theology with the Five Solas that represent the core reasons the Protestants had to break away from Roman Catholicism. This post will cover Calvinist soteriology (TULIP): total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints.

I occasionally refer to Reformed theology as foundational to what I write. This is the first in a series that will better define what that means. This post will cover the Five Solas of the Reformation. Future posts will discuss Calvinism, confessionalism, and covenant theology.

Your eschatology matters. It will not only affect your view of the end times, but how you view culture and how you will engage in it.

Today, as we live in a similar time of heresy and spiritual decline, let us remember that the Protestant Reformation is not over. While Luther, Calvin, Knox, and others did much to reform the Church, there is always a need for Reformation in every generation!
