We are Christian: that all-inclusive
term for the Christian communion in the broadest
sense of the word and would include Roman Catholicism,
Eastern Orthodoxy and Protestantism.
We are Protestant: that segment
within Christendom which is non-Roman or Eastern
Orthodox. We embrace the four pillars of the
Reformation which are:
a. |
Sola Christus – Christ
alone |
b. |
Sola Scriptura – Scripture alone |
c. |
Sola Gratia – Grace alone |
d. |
Sola Fida – Faith alone |
Protestantism emphasizes the priesthood of
all believers, the authority of the Bible, justification
by faith, preaching, and the two sacraments
or ordinances of baptism and communion.
