Chris and Casey discuss the main beliefs and practices of the main Christian groups that were active immediately after the Protestant Reformation, in about the turn of the 16th century AD. They briefly explain the origins of each group, and then summarize their beliefs regarding Authority, Salvation, Baptism, Communion, Church Government, and finally what distinguishes them as unique among the others. The groups covered include the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, the Reformed/Presbyterian Churches, the Anabaptists, the Anglican Church, and the Baptists. They end by explaining which of the groups they believe to be most in alignment with New Testament teaching, and how we as believers should respond to such a diversity of groups and beliefs.
