The first were the Lutheran's as a result of Martin Luther's Reformation in Germany. The second were the Dutch Reformed(Presbaterian in USA)because of the French theologian John Calvin and his ideas on predestination and other arguments against the Catholic church.The third was the Anglican/Episcopal church who see themselves as Catholic but also Reformed. King Henry wanted to divorce his wife but at that time divorce wasn't allowed in the Catholic church and the Pope would not allow it. So Henry separated himself from the church of Rome and made his own separate branch of Christianity. The forth main church were a group known as Mennonite's. A group who were Baptists but accepted some of the teachings of a Swiss man by the name of Ulrich Zwingli who was once an Augustinian monk along with his friend Martin Luther. After the Reformation Zwingli still held onto some Roman beliefs like infant Baptism. In latter years came what some would call the "second English reformation". The reality is that it was more of a revival and separation than anything. It began with an Anglican clergyman named John Wesley, who found that the church of England was not doctrinally correct on many things. He became a preacher and minister and began a revival his followers became known as Methodist, meaning people who fallowed the "Method" of the Bible. Later on came many independent branches of Christianity such as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints(The Mormons)from a young boy named Joseph Smith who had a Pentecostal experiences and a vision of the trinity. Others include Jehovah's Witness, Penticostal, Nazarines,Seventh Day Adventist, Vinuard Church etc....
