The Reformed Churches are a group of Protestant Churches that originated during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. This Protestant movement was led first by Ulrich Zwingli and then by John Calvin. "Reformed" churches are said to be Calvinist in doctrine.
Contents
History
The Reformer, John Calvin, was French by birth; however he wrote and preached mostly in Switzerland. Here he published his "Institutes of the Christian Religion". From Geneva, Calvinism spread throughout Europe, but especially into the Netherlands and Scotland. Various Confessions were drawn up to distinguish the Reformed faith from other Protestant viewpoints. English Puritans and Scottish Presbyterians brought the Reformed faith to the United States and Australasia after the Reformation. So did the Reformed Dutch and Germans and the French Huguenots bring their faith to South Africa.
Doctrine
In Reformed Churches, the Bible is the sole and supreme authority in all matters of faith. The various Confessions are merely accepted explanations of Biblical doctrine.
The Confessions:
- Dutch: The Belgic Confession, The Heidelberg Cathegism and the Canons of Dordt.
- Scottish: The Westminster Confession, The Westminster Larger Cathegism and The Westminster Shorter Cathegism, as well as the Scots Confession.
- Swiss: The Second Helvetic Confession.
Form of Governance
Reformed Churches use the Presbyterian polity for their church government. This emphasizes the autonomy of the local church, which is governed by elders.
Different Traditions
Scottish Presbyterian, and Dutch and Swiss Reformed churches are distinguished by different confessions, but hold to the same set of beliefs.
Another tradition has developed also--"Reformed Baptist." It shares some of the same Calvinist beliefs as the general Reformed Churches, but Reformed Baptists baptize adults and not infants as other Reformed Churches do. They adhere to the London Baptist Confession.
