Episode notes
Scripture Is The Final Authority
- Reformed theology centers Scripture as God's infallible, final rule for faith and practice.
- All other authorities are secondary and must submit to the Bible's unified witness.
Define 'Reformed' Carefully
- Use consistent definitions when calling something 'Reformed' to avoid confusion and mislabeling.
- Treat the historical confessions and catechisms as subordinate to Scripture when assessing claims.
Salvation Is By God Alone
- Reformed theology insists salvation is monergistic: God alone effects salvation by free grace.
- Any human contribution would nullify grace and undermine God's glory, Soli Deo Gloria.
