FIVE ONLYS OF THE REFORMATION
October 31 is Reformation Day, the day Martin Luther (1483-1546) nailed up his 95 theses. Thus, the five “solas” or “onlys” seem appropriate:
- Scripture Alone: Scripture alone as the authority for life and practice in the church. (Only Scripture; Latin: Sola Scriptura)
- Grace Alone: God’s sovereign grace alone as the reason for our salvation without any actual or potential human merit, effort, faith, or work. (Only Grace; Latin: Sola Gratia)
- Faith Alone: Justification by faith alone and no human works. (Only faith; Latin: Sola Fide)
- Christ Alone: Salvation through the Person and work of Jesus Christ alone. (Only Christ; Latin: Solus Christus)
- Glory of God Alone: All things ultimately for the glory of God alone. (Only God’s glory; Latin: Soli Deo Gloria)

SERMONS ON ELECTION
Protestants have typically embraced the doctrine of election as taught by the Reformers. Listen in English to sermons on this great biblical truth:
A SERMON ON ELECTION BY BAPTIST CHARLES SPURGEON
Protestants in general, and Baptists specifically, have embraced the doctrine of election. Listen in English to a sermon originally preached by Charles Spurgeon:
Confessions of Dort (Dordt)
Điều 1: Sự Lựa Chọn Thiên Thượng và Sự Hư Mất
Vì trong Adam mọi người đều đã phạm tội, bị rủa sả và đáng chịu chết mất đời đời, Thương Đế rất công bình nên tất cả mọi người phải bị hư mất và chịu đoán phạt bởi tội lỗi của họ gây ra, theo như lời các Sứ Đồ: Để chó miệng nào cũng phải ngậm lại, cả thiên hạ đều nhận tội trước mặt Thượng Đế (Rôma 3:19) và vì mọi người đều đã phạm tội, thiếu mất sự vinh hiển của Thượng Đế (Rôm 3:23). Vì tiền công của tội lỗi là sự chết (Rôm 6:23). {Bằng Tiếng Việt: Canons of Dordt}
Article 1: God’s Right to Condemn All People
Since all people have sinned in Adam and have come under the sentence of the curse and eternal death, God would have done no one an injustice if it had been his will to leave the entire human race in sin and under the curse, and to condemn them on account of their sin. As the apostle says: “The whole world is liable to the condemnation of God” (Rom. 3:19), “All have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23), and “The wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23).
