More on Reformed Theology 

Reformed theology traces its roots back to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th Century. It is based on the historic Westminster Confession. Reformed theology affirms that salvation is based on what is known as the five solas: sola fide, by faith alone; sola Scriptura, by Scripture alone; solus Christus, through Christ alone; sola gratia, by grace alone; and soli Deo Gloria, glory to God alone.

In addition to affirming the five solas, Reformed theology promotes a high view of the sovereignty of God, the Doctrines of Grace (also known as Calvinism), and the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20. It is sometimes associated with Covenant theology because of its emphasis on the covenant God made with Adam and the new covenant which came through Jesus Christ (Luke 22:20).
