Reformed Thomist
Puritan Board Sophomore
I have heard that the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion which the Church of England and other Anglican/Episcopalian bodies worldwide (officially) subscribe to is a basically Reformed or Calvinistic confessional document, but that there has been a great deal of disagreement over the centuries as to the degree that it is Reformed or Calvinistic in several areas.
My concern is just with its soteriology. Would you say that the Thirty-Nine Articles teach each of the five points of Calvinism? If not, could one consistently be a five-pointer and hold to the Thirty-Nine Articles in its entirety?
