The Protestant Reformation in Wesleyan Perspective (Jason Vickers)

The year 2017 marked 500 years since the Protestant Reformation. In today’s Seven Minute Seminary, Dr. Jason Vickers interprets this reform movement, of which Methodism was a part, by focusing on two of its renewal emphases:

The Authority of Scripture (sola scriptura)
The Role of Faith in Salvation (sola fides)

In addition to the role of Scripture in determining church doctrine, Vickers suggests we also understand it as a means of grace unto salvation. In addition to the place of faith in salvation, he also reminds us that faith without works is dead.

Sola Gratia, Solus Christus and Soli Deo Gloria? There are 5 Solas of the reformation. Missed a few. Not sure i understand your point that the Wesleyan church adds some emphasis to the 2 Solas you mention; Faith alone is scriptural. Not by works that none of us can boast. James is clear that works are proof of saving faith not a means for it. Not sure why the need for this video or why it’s missing some key components of the reformation.

The reformation was a continuation of Catholicism as Luther continued to teach infant water baptism as a requirement for salvaiton which attacks the gospel of Christ.. Calvin also taught infant water baptism as a means to salvaiton so the reformation and protestantism is just one a daughter of the Catholic harlot.. One must simply believe the gospel according to the scriptures in order to receive remission of sins the free gift of eternal life.. 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph @, John @ KJV
