Do you have a slippery forgetfulness of God? In this episode of 5 Minutes in Church History, Dr. Stephen Nichols turns to John Calvin's Institutes as he considers this question.

What does it mean to live the Christian life? Half of John Calvin's Institutes are devoted to the Christian life. Bucer held that a person was sanctified by grace through faith. He had to find a middle way on the sacramental question. Luther believed at baptism, the Holy Spirit went into that person's life. In Communion, Luther believed Christ is received into the person's life. Luther's view of the Sacraments caused people to ask why they did not always make Christians. Zwingli held that the Sacraments were a witness to others. Zwingli denied the Sacraments work the way Luther believed because spirit and matter do not coalesce in that way. His view caused people to ask why the sacraments were necessary. The result were those such as the Anabaptists (re-baptizers) who rejected infant baptism.
