Protestant Religion

-Protestant religion was formed in the early 16th century, it was formed from the split with Roman Catholicism during the Reformation -Protestant religion originated in Germany, it was led by Martin Luther,John Calvin, and others who broke for the Roman Catholic Church

Lutherans-they believe the same thing about baptism as Catholics and nearly the same about the Eucharist only falling short of belief in a complete and permanent change of the elements. Lutherans also believe that we are saved by the grace of God alone, our salvation is through faith alone, and the bible is the norm for faith and life

Calvinists- the main belief in Calvinism is the five points 1. Original Sin 2. Gods election 3. Particular redemption 4. Effectual calling 5. Perseverance of the saints

Anglicans- their bible is a true and inerrant record of Gods interaction in history. Anglicans believe that Jesus is the Way,the Truth, and the Life,this is the only way to the Father and salvation

Today Protestantism is practiced in The United States, Germany, and the Scandinavian counties.

Anglican protestans follow the hierarchy in the church of parish priest to bishop to arch bishop

Beliefs and Practices :Most Protestant churches use the Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditions, such as the Trinity, the atonement and resurrection of Christ, the authority of the Bible, and the sacramental character of baptism and the Eucharist. Protestants use the Bible, which is considered the sole source and standard for their teachings but they reject the Roman Catholic position giving ultimate authority to the pope in matters of faith and morals.
