This research paper: A 15 page paper. What is the true church? How can one distinguish between a true church and a false church? These are two of the questions that have been debated for almost 2,000 years and these are the questions this essay addresses. To help the average citizen with this question, the Roman Church provided the Nicene Creed in the 4th century, which stated, "We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church." These are Marks of the Church, the beliefs of the people. Reformers, however, offered different Marks of the true Church. John Calvin identified three Marks of the Church, which he included in his Institutes of the Christian Religion. These are outlined, explained and discussed. The issue of the Cardinal Sadoleto is also explained. Calvin's commentary on a passage from Ephesians, one of the bases for Calvin's Marks of the Church is also noted. Finally, the writer comments on the importance of the Marks in today's world. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
