That's false. Now it's getting to be an old lie.

Fine. Show me your proof that the Reformed doctrines existed in AD 100. AD 200. AD 300.

I get my truth from Gods word

So do I. Obviously one of us has a mistaken idea of what the Bible teaches. And since there is no evidence that Reformed doctrines were taugh prior to 1517.....well.....

I take into account writings from christians throughout the ages. However, none are infallible as only the bible is.

In other words, you read them to find out places where they agree with your interpretation, right? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The writings of the Early Fathers show us very clearly [color:"FF0000"]how the scriptures were interpreted in the first century onward[/color] When you have the majority of believers in those centuries all holding to a specific doctrinal teaching (such as baptismal regeneration) and you find no opposition to that teaching in the form of councils, synods, etc. then you must know that there simply were no other teachings.
