Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month. December 2014: Alan Jacob's "Book of Common Prayer" at: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Common-Prayer-Biography-Religious/dp/0691154813/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417814005&sr=8-1&keywords=jacobs+book+of+common+prayer. January 2015: A.F. Pollard's "Thomas Cranmer and the English Reformation: 1489-1556" at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmer-English-Reformation-1489-1556/dp/1592448658/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420055574&sr=8-1&keywords=A.F.+Pollard+Cranmer.

Romanism Creep

Romanism-creep. Error comes by incremental degrees. As Bishop John Charles Ryle (Liverpool) once said (in essence), "Error never has a skull and cross bones on it, a pharmaceutical warning. It comes without the symbol and warning."

This is why the Reverend Doctor James Innes Packer, a revered leader in the Manglican Muddler Church, must be rebuked and disciplined...if by no other means than avoidance.

The Rev. Mr. Bennett, a former Papist priest and teacher of Anti-Christ, now Calvinistic Baptist, always has healthy warnings about Anti-Christ.

As we've noted and as we have learned, the Lutheran Confessions, unlike the Reformed or Anglican Confessions, are exceptional Doctors of Truth regarding Anti-Christ...the Reformed and Confessional Anglicans aren't as explicit, but the Lutheran brethren are, thankfully.
