baptism theology is what if a new age person interpreted the Bible and tried to adapt it to his world.

I understand why you generalized baptists and put them over on the "not part of the reformation" side but I'm one of your Baptist listeners here to remind you that there were two separate streams that created what we now call baptist. There was the ana baptist tradition deriving from Meno Simons, and then there was the particular baptist tradition born out of the reformed tradition from the Chruch of England Puritan movement. Would be great if you acknowledged this during these types of videos. 1689 LBC fellas are a big part of the Baptist tradition and do value scripture, reason and tradition greatly.

He won’t acknowledge Reformed Baptists/Particular Baptists because it’s his way to be ignorant to the truth. If he starts to acknowledge them as brothers in the reformed tradition, he would start to see the holes in his theological convictions. So, he chooses to group reformed brothers as not reformed as a way stay ignorant. He’ll consider modern Lutherans (which some still hold to reformed truths) as more reformed than reformed baptists because Lutherans get their babies wet (not seen in the Bible) and reformed baptists who submerge professing believers (seen in the Bible). It’s ok, the gospel unites! One day we will all worship God together and this animosity towards other brothers will come to an end.

[@pedroguimaraes6094]

What you said is true. Sometimes I think that RZ has a big grudge against the Baptists because they use the name "Reformed" and this hinders his objectivity. That said, we need to recognize that Baptists, even Particulars, adhered to many ideas that were rejected by reformers, such as credobaptism. It is a mixture of ideas from magisterial reform and radical reform. It would not be honest to say that they are traditional or historic Protestants.

[@joshuareeves5103]

@@pedroguimaraes6094 I would disagree with this. I don't quite understand where you feel the need to draw the line. Every tradition has differences. Just because Baptist's held to ideas rejected by others isn't surprising. It wouldn't be it's own tradition if it agreed with everyone. The reformed tradition adhered to many ideas that were rejected by Lutherans. This doesn't delegitimize it's roots in the protestant reformation. The credo Baptist perspective isn't about radical reform but trying to return to the apostolic deposit. Calvin himself believed we moved toward pedobaptism from credobaptism in the early church despite himself believing in pedobaptism.

[@MarkStein-t7d]

@@joshuareeves5103 it’s important for protestants to draw the line, because if protestantism only means protesting the Catholic Church, then all kinds of heretics will be protestants, not only the heretics who deny that the icons are permitted (7th ecumenical council) or those who deny that Mary is the Mother of God (3rd ecumenical council) but even those who deny that Jesus is from the same substance of the Father (1st ecumenical council) or that the Holy Spirit is God (2nd ecumenical council) So the only way to make a distinction between the two kinds of deniers of the ecumenical councils is to make a cronological distinction between the reformers and any non-catholic christian church that came latter.

Jesus himself used the OT Scripture to make inferences is in His response to the Sadducees in Matthew 22:31-32. The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection, so they questioned Jesus to challenge this doctrine. Jesus responded by quoting Exodus 3:6, where God says, “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Jesus then explains that God “is not the God of the dead, but of the living,” making the inference that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were alive with God, thus supporting the resurrection.

Just a small correction about Hus and Moravians. The church that carried the legacy of Hus the most is the still extant Hussite Church, while the Moravians, or the Unity of the Brethren as they are called here in Czechia, follow the teachings of Petr Chelčický. And the Brethren at their begining were actually discriminated by both the catholics and the hussites, as they were even more extreme than hussites in various ways. Funny thing is, we evangelicals (the Brethren Church, to be exact) actually look up to the legacy of Unitas Fratrum a lot and try to carry it in here too, since their teachings and leaders are common knowledge in here (like Jan Amos Komenský/Comenius for exmaple)

[@pedroguimaraes6094]

These are half-truths tbh: Calvin did approve the burnt of Anabaptist, but it is incorrect to say that Calvin burned them. He did not have direct legal authority to execute anyone. The executions of heretics, including the burning of Michael Servetus, were carried out by the civil authorities of Geneva ( the Genevan Councils, of which Calvin was not a part, although he was influential). While Calvin held a prominent role in the Consistory, which advised the councils on religious matters, his influence was limited to making recommendations. Early vernacular translations of the Bible, both Catholic and Protestant, did have inconsistencies and translation errors, partly because translators were working from a limited set of manuscripts, some of which contained copyist errors or variations. However, the Protestant Reformers placed a strong emphasis on accurate translation and scholarly review, aiming to make the scriptures accessible to laypeople in a form as close to the original texts as possible Tyndale was accused of mistranslation for doctrinal purposes, while Catholic translations like the Douay-Rheims, also an early English Bible, aimed to support Catholic doctrine. Both sides improved their translations over time as more Greek and Hebrew texts became available.

Calvin had more legal power to burn people in Geneva than any Pope had to burn anyone even in Spain. Calvin was literally the political leader of Geneva, while the Pope was a spiritual leader and didn’t even have a legal way to kill people, he could only judge them and sent them to the state to be punished and in 5% of the cases the punishment was death

[@SirMicahBroch]

Calvin did not burn or kill anybody in Geneva. By the time Servetus was killed, Calvin still had no civil authority and was not even a citizen at the time.

[@carsonianthegreat4672]

@@pedroguimaraes6094the Catholic Church didn’t have direct authority to burn anyone either. The state did the executioning. In that way Calvin is no different. And Wycliffe’s Bible was notoriously polemic. It purposefully mistranslated words to support his Lollard theology. For example, he mistranslated Ecclesia as “congregation” instead of “church,” which is just silly. Early Catholic vernacular translations were so faithful to the original texts that they would do word-for word translations in the margins so that both languages were visible to the reader. Wycliffe never did that. Wycliffe wasn’t even the first to translate scripture into English. Catholic monks had been doing it for centuries - the Anglo-Saxon Glosses.

Hey Redeemed Zoomer, Thanks for this - it's quite an ambitious undertaking to try to cover so many figures in such a short period of time. I wouldn't be daring enough to try! I just wanted to comment on a couple of the things you said about Richard Hooker because, while they are central to the popular conception of him, even in Anglican circles, they're not quite accurate. I'm a Church of England priest and I did my dissertation on Richard Hooker at Oxford University as part of my training. There is, if not quite a 100% consensus, then nevertheless a heavy majority in Hooker scholarship in favour of the idea that the 'Via Media' is an anachronism. The term itself is a 19th century coinage and was promoted by the same sorts of Anglo Catholic figures who you say ignore the 39 Articles. 'Via Media' is to Hooker as 'Tract 90' is to the Articles. It's true that Hooker was more irenic by temperament than many (though not all) of the reformers and so if you compare his writings to those of the 'hotter' kind of protestant, he comes across as softer on Catholicism. Some scholars, such as Peter Lake, would view him as being a bit arminianising. Nevertheless, he and the Elizabethan Church were determinedly protestant and if there is a middle way they sought, it passes between Wittenberg and Geneva, not Rome and Geneva. It's a similar story with the 'three-legged stool' idea. It's popular in the modern Church of England, especially among those who want to find a compromise between Evangelicals, Anglo Catholics and Liberals in the Church (who rather simplistically are equated with Scripture, Tradition and Reason). The trouble is, it simply isn't what Hooker said. In the relevant passage (and for what it's worth, I chose to do my dissertation on Hooker because he's much more commonly alluded to than actually read) what Hooker actually says is that *in questions of church polity and in the composition of liturgies* anything Scripture requires/forbids is mandatory/forbidden. If Scripture is silent, God expects humans to use reason (guided by Scripture) to determine what polity or liturgy is best suited to the present time and culture. If it's a toss up and there is more than one reasonable course of action, the Church should favour continuity with its past tradition (partly because continuity is beneficial in itself and partly because sometimes it is not clear to us what the function of a tradition or institution is until we get rid of it). I'm sure you can appreciate that that's a *very* different argument. It's really a methodology for handling adiaphora and an explanation for why the CofE has retained many of its pre reformation structures (especially Bishops). The three potential sources of authority are clearly hierarchialised in Hooker. If you'd like to learn more about Richard Hooker, I *highly* recommend Brad Littlejohn's book Richard Hooker: A Companion to his life and work. It's up to date, short, (under 250 pages), pitched well for the non specialist who is nonetheless familiar with Reformed theology, and is presently under $10 on Kindle. Grace and Peace! Ed

The Moravian Church today stems from a mixture of Hussites and pietist Lutherans in the region of Moravia. They are not very strict theological but tend to affirm some mode of Christ’s presence in the Eucharist. They affirm various Protestant confessions such as the Augsburg Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, Thirty-Nine Articles, and others if I remember correctly.

I still think that when Jesus told "this is my flesh and this is my blood" he did not say "this is symbol of flesh and blood" So if I'd be protestant, I'd rather be Lutheran.

Great Video and Happy Reformation day! I do wish RZ would have talked about Balthasar Hubmair, an early Anabaptist theologian. What is very interesting and cool about him is that he was not as radical as most other Anabaptists. He held a high view of Baptism, Mary, and frequently quoted the church fathers. As a traditional Baptist who holds to the Baptists Confessions, I am very inspired by Balthasar, and wish more people knew of him.

Check out Ryan Reeves series on Calvin. Your points about Calvin were right to a degree, but you gave him too much credit. He just adopted the beliefs of the Reformed before him. Even my message here is missing so much information. Please check out Ryan Reeves series for a more historically accurate view. Keep up the great work. God bless.

One question about Anglicanism I haven't been able to find a solid answer for: Are the majority of Anglicans Calvinist/believers in predestination? The emphasis on pointing out the Calvinistic ideas of the founders of Anglicanism would seem to suggest that Calvinism in the current Anglican church is more variable. And a follow-up question, are there any significant differences between Anglicans and Episcopalians, or is their "split" mainly geographical?

[@DrGero15]

Episcopalians are a subset of Anglicanism, who are generally very liberal. Anglicanism does not support individualistic, Calvinist, predestination. The Homilies, Prayer Book, and even the Articles support Ecclesiastical Election. Cranmer was not a Calvinist, neither was Hooker. Hooker's most famous writing was attacking the Calvinist Puritans. Anglo-Calvinist/Reformed violate the Anglican Formularies just as much as Anglo-Papists/Catholics.

[@MarkStein-t7d]

not even the majority of Calvinists believe in double-predestination. They just like the idea that "God chose them" they never stopped to think about if God choose or not the others.

[@blessedjedi]

Informative video, However, Sir Thomas Cranmer’s personal views. Aren’t the standard by which the entire reformational Church of England held its beliefs. It is the final Versions of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and 1571 39 Articles. Which were finalized after his death (Cranmer being heavily influential, but not the end all be all). We Anglicans believe it is the combined teachings of the pre(Whitby-Celtic)/peri/post reformation Anglican Bishops (including but not limited to St. Cranmer) who define our church. Had we wanted to be Calvinistic, we’d have kept the 42 articles (I can say the same for the RC’s and the 10 articles). Sir Hooker was also just moderately Reformed and heavily criticized both Roman Catholics and puritan Presbyterians. Our presence at Dort, isn’t to be confused with a subscription of its proceedings. Psuedo Arminian bishops like Lancelot Andrewes and John Overall (16/17th century) serve to show our church’s grace, when it comes to less essential views. I say this as neither an Anglo-Catholic nor Anglo-Reformed. We are reformed (not Calvinist Puritan) and catholic (not Roman Catholic). God bless you Zoomer and all, on this day of All Saints Eve and Reformation day!

[@szezhicheng658]

You missed Martin Chemnitz (1522-1586) and Jakob Andreae (1528-1590). They are second generation Lutheran German Reformers and were very important in the Lutheran Reformation as they finalized the production of the 1580 Lutheran Book of Concord that all Confessional Lutherans together with Scripture firmly hold to till this day.

[@MarkStein-t7d]

If you look at the state of Protestant churches today, you see how right the Catholic Church was not to compromise with them. Most at that time couldn’t grasp the problem with going to a church that instead of eating Jesus flesh and blood in the Eucharist, it’s just a metaphor and they merely receive him in spirit “if” they believe. But now 500 years later where in many of those Protestant churches they barely believe that Jesus literally rose from the dead, more like rising from the dead is just a metaphor to do “social justice” then you can notice that the Catholic cleric was right not to compromise with such satanic beliefs

You mentioned the Anabaptists but then quickly bypassed them (us). Why that?

Yo Zoomer, you mentioned in a video awhile back that there are approximately 12 Christain traditions and compared them to the 12 tribes of Israel. Can you elaborate on that? It was a really interesting point

[@SuperStratosfear]

A reminder: the reformers weren't burned at the stake so that we can view them or any man-made institution influenced by them as the source of sound doctrine. They gave their lives so that we could base our doctrine on scriptures only. Appealing to the theological beliefs of the reformers to validate your theology and denigrating the theology of evangelicals/Baptists misses the entire point of why the reformation was necessary in first place. If Baptist/evangelical theology is poor, then it would be because it is out of step with the scriptures, not with the opinions of Luther, Zwingli, Hus, Calvin etc.

[@parttimememedealer7071]

So does it matter that even luther at the end of his life accepted that he couldn't reform the Catholic church and didn't feel sorrow for the religious and political conflicts he caused? Or is that irrelevant because the idea of a reformation itself was a just response to the papal expansion of power? And if that's the case, why didn't any of the reformers then reexamine Eastern orthodoxy if the Catholic Church was so in need of reform? If the Catholic Church was in disarray and in need of reformation since wycliffe, then when exactly did the Catholic church go astray? and if so, were the orthodox ahead of the curve for not compromise on the filioque?

[@einzelwolf3437]

You can definitely draw parallels between the The Great Schism and the Reformation on account of the fact that both directly were caused by the Pope's claim to absolute authority. That being said, there are still many great differences between EO and Protestantism. The Protestants actually corresponded with the EO Patriarch, and the Patriarch eventually told them to stop contacting him over their differences of belief.

[@MusculusPulveri]

Zoomer, wondering your sources for Bullingers Mariology. Thanks!

[@EmV-si1eu]

As a Protestant who believes in Sola Scriptura, I believe in the Theotokos or Mary the Mother of God or the "God bearer" as St. Augustine called her because it's pretty hard to refute this using Scripture since Elizabeth calls her "the mother of my Lord" in Luke 1:43. Plus, Jesus and God are used interchangeably throughout the NT making it Biblically impossible to divide the Hypostatic Union! Yeah, no Nestorian heresy here, which btw, is what the majority of new age modern-day Big Eva teaches! All that being said, it is impossible to argue for the perpetual virginity of Mary given multiple clear as day "The sky is blue, not green!" passages of Holy Scripture which are irrefutably to the contrary. Matthew 1:25 and did not know her TILL she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS. Mark 6:3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him Matthew 15:33 Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? Galatians 1:19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. A denial of this for the sake of your church tradition or denominational views regardless of their historical longevity is just being willfully ignorant (aka STUPID ON PURPOSE)! Finally, where do people get the idea that God opened the eyes of Pig Henry? Maybe Cranmer but Henry? Nothing against Anglican brothers and sisters themselves. Their theology is pretty sound, but that doesn't change the fact that their denomination was founded on adultery and murder!

[@lifematterspodcast]

[@waltergoraj5238]

Predestination is the foundational principle by which all other doctrines are to be understood. Why? Because the Bible is God's word to His people, and His people take God's word , in it's highest degree, spiritually. He is the one who opens our eyes to the truth. We don't open our own eyes, neither do we give ourselves a " new heart".
