What are the influences of Reformed Churches in the Philippines?
It must be remembered that even Reformed churches in the Philippines come in varieties. A Reformed church is basically a church that adheres to the ideals of the Calvinistic Reformation in continental Europe and the British Isles. Two families are to be considered as Reformed churches: The Presbyterians which originated in England through John Knox who was student of John Calvin and the Reformed (or Continental Reformed) which originated from Calvin's labors in Geneva spreading to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Bohemia, etc. Reformed Churches stand by the Five Doctrines of Sovereign Particular Grace (T.U.L.I.P.: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, Perseverance of the Saints) and the 5 "Solas" of the Reformation: the Bible alone, Faith alone. Grace alone, Christ alone, God's Glory alone. There are certain Baptists who claim to adhere to these tenets but cannot be technically called "Reformed" or "Calvinistic" since they deny the Biblical doctrine of the Covenant in their rejection of infant baptism. A true historically Reformed church condemns the error and heresy of Arminianism, that is also "Free-willism" and "conditionalism." Sadly most of the so-called Reformed churches in the Philippines have abandoned these doctrines and tolerated the damnable errors of Arminiansim. It may be said that the influence of these unfaithful churches is sadly to add only to the wide corrupting spiritual influences of the modern Arminian evangelical, Pentecostal-Charismatic, Methodist and other groups in the Philippines. Other Reformed churches pride themselves in holding to historic Reformed tenets but tolerate Arminians and extend sacred Christian fellowship to them. Sadly, they also add to the Arminian crowd except that they have an elitistic attitude concerning themselves. True Reformed churches fight the old battles of faith against the false gospel of "free-willism" and "conditionalism" in salvation. They are misunderstood as "hypers", "extremes" and even "cults" because of their abiding "anathema" against that old Pelagian error, Arminiansim. The influence they exert in the Philippine religious world which is unnoticeable is that they "divide" Arminian churches in their faithful adherence to the Gospel of pure Grace. They don't join ecumenical prayers and don't pray for a so-called "world peace." They don't produce noticeable influence in the Philippines for they are unpopular. One important influence though emanates from these unpopular churches: they sow the seeds of the true and unadulterated Gospel.

First, there is more in common betwen the different Christian churches and communities there is different, especially in the most important things, like our faith in God as Trinity, faith in Christ, the Resurrection, baptism, the importance of the Bible, etc.It is also important to remember that there are many different Protestant churches and communities, each is different from the other, and so each is different from the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church in different ways.Briefly, though, differences include:The Catholic Church is a communion of 23 autonomous churches, present throughout the world, all of which are in communion with the pope (the bishop of Rome).The Orthodox Church is a communion of 25-30 autocephalous and autonomous churches in communion with the Ecumenical Patriarch (the bishop of Constantinople). There are also the six Oriental Orthodox Churches which are in commmunion with the pope of Alexandria, and the Assyrian Church in communion with the Patriarch of Selucia-Ctesiphon.There is no Protestant Church, per se, only a variety of protestant churches, and each can differ as much from the other as from either of the above two groups. The main thing they have in common is that they are not Catholic (or Orthodox).Read more: Differences_between_Catholic_and_protestants
