Reformation Day

Today is October 31st 2012 and is Reformation Day to many Christians. Sadly this wonderful day has been taken over by another holiday but if you would like to know more about Reformation Day then click this link and enjoy the article.



Dr. Martin Luther was a big factor in the history of the church as he understood the doctrine of grace. The purchasing of indulgences to free ones ancestors from purgatory and its abuse in funding the building of St. Peters in Rome began the road for Martin Luther to a greater faith. Knowing it is "Sola Fide" that brings one to Christ and not Works plus Faith as the Roman Catholic Church taught began a split in doctrine that brought about the Protestant Reformation.

The "Five Sola" of Reformed Theology
Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone
Solus Christus - Christ Alone
Sola Gratia - Grace Alone
Sola Fide - Faith Alone
Soli Deo Gloria - The Glory of God Alone
