Affirms
Denies
  • Assumption of Maryweak
    Universal Protestant rejection — not attested in Scripture; not received as dogma.

  • Transubstantiationstandard
    Orthodox reject the Aristotelian metaphysics; Lutherans use 'sacramental union'; 39 Articles Art. XXVIII rejects explicitly; Reformed/Baptist reject substance-change.
Wrestles with
  • Apostolic Successionweak
    Lutheran and Methodist bodies retain 'succession of doctrine' language without the tactile chain.
  • Believer's Baptismweak

  • Pacifism vs. just-warweak
    Default just-war framework — usually unwritten. Inheriting at weak confidence.

    Historically held by Luther, Calvin, Zwingli; retained as pious opinion (not binding) by confessional Lutherans and traditional Anglicans.
  • Theotokosweak
    Confessionally valid title (Ephesus is a received council) but not used devotionally; retained in liturgy where liturgy is retained.
