Rationalists: those who believed that Reason was authoritative and that it even corrected Scripture (Juan de Valdez, Fausto Socinus, Polish Brethren) C. Biblical Anabaptists: believed that Scripture, especially the New Testament, was authoritative for faith, practice, and their view of the true church (Swiss Brethren, Moravian Brethren, and Dutch Anabaptists). The prefix, ana- means re- or again; so the Anabaptists were those who had been baptized as infants as Catholics and then re-baptized when they became believers. D.

God chooses in His mercy to save some; we cannot do anything to make Him choose us; there are no conditions on His choosing whom He pleases C. Because God is the one who chooses, the salvific work of Christ on the cross is effectual only for those whom God has chosen. The atonement is limited. D.

At Council of Dort, between 13 November 1618 and 9 May 1619, the pro-calvinists answered in debate the 5 tenets laid out by the Remonstrants (followers of Arminius).
