What Does It Mean to Be a Protestant? - Pt 1

This month on The Scripture-Driven Church broadcast we're remembering the Protestant Reformation. Today’s postmodern Evangelical church has largely forgotten what it means to be a Protestant. Many Evangelical spokesmen are saying that the Reformation was a mistake, and that today we need a new kind of “reformation” – a counterfeit “reformation” that would overturn and repeal the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century.

The basis of this proposed “new reformation” is a return to the sad position of the church in the Dark Ages before the Reformation: cultivation of Biblical illiteracy, reliance on sensory experience, promotion of theological pluralism, and a trust in works rather than faith for salvation.

What does God’s Word say? It tells us that there is only one true Gospel, one true body of doctrine, one true faith – the Protestant faith that was reclaimed from the darkness of the Middle Ages by Luther, Calvin, Knox, and other stalwarts.
