Episode notes
Predestination As Reformed Hallmark
- Wisløff explains predestination as a defining feature of the Reformed tradition originating in Zürich and Geneva.
- He notes it appears in confessions but often not sharply formulated, e.g., Heidelberg Catechism references the elect in church description.
Faith As The Organ Of Justification
- Wisløff treats the sentence of justification as a forensic act received by faith as its instrument.
- He stresses faith functions as the organ receiving the acquittal given for Christ's sake.
Church As Corpus Fidelium
- The Reformed church defines the church as corpus fidelium — the community of believers, not institutional visibility.
- Wisløff clarifies 'invisible' means God alone knows who truly belong to the church.
