Consensus forecast

Consensus ( Latin for consensus agreement in doctrinal disputes, and therefore also the title of the relevant records and documents). This includes, inter alia, for the purpose of a union of Augsburg, Czech and Helvetic Confession of the Polish provinces agreed to Sandomierz Consensus Sendomiriensis 1570 ( on the doctrines of the Incarnation of Christ and the Lord's Supper ).

• Consensus has Genevensis ( Consensus pastorum ), which is also written by Calvin in 1552, contains the doctrine of predestination in the strict sense Calvi niches, however, by the other Swiss churches found no official acceptance;
• The consensus Helveticus ( Formula Concordia Helvetica ), written in 1674 by Johann Heinrich Heidegger and Franz Turretin, professors in Zurich and Geneva, and especially against Moses Amyrauts doctrine of common grace addressed in 26 articles, 1675 and 1676 introduced in Switzerland, but due to brought the opposition, who was, indeed applicable in the Electorate of Brandenburg and in England, even in Switzerland, however, in the beginning of the 18th century back to be symbolic prestige.

Within the Lutheran Church came into being:
