    Universal Protestant rejection — not attested in Scripture; not received as dogma.

Wrestles with
  • Believer's Baptismweak
    Paedobaptist bodies practice adult baptism on credible profession where infant baptism was omitted, but do not consider it normative.
  • Pacifism vs. just-warweak
    Default just-war framework — usually unwritten. Inheriting at weak confidence.
  • Perpetual Virginity of Maryweak
    Historically held by Luther, Calvin, Zwingli; retained as pious opinion (not binding) by confessional Lutherans and traditional Anglicans.
  • Real Presenceweak
    Calvin's spiritual presence (genuinely present but not physically) is neither strong affirm nor deny; Anglican/Methodist typically hold a receptionist view.
  • Theotokosweak
    Confessionally valid title (Ephesus is a received council) but not used devotionally; retained in liturgy where liturgy is retained.
