What is the difference between p-adic Lie groups and linear algebraic groups over p-adic fields?

I thought they were the same, just different names. Let me make question more precise:

Let $G$ be any linear algebraic group over a p-adic field $\mathbb{Q}_p$, is $G$ a p-adic Lie group w.r.t. the analytic topology from $\mathbb{Q}_p$ in the sense of Peter Schneider? If this is the case, Does the Lie algebra from the algebraic group coincide with the Lie algebra from the Lie group?

As far as I can see this is true for real number case. But I'm not familiar with p-adic Lie group theory.
