TULIP

The five points of Calvinism/Biblical Reformers/Biblical Christians:

T - Total Depravity: Man has sinned and is completely and without virtue.
U - Unconditional Election: God chooses some people to be his elect and the rest are damned.
L - Limited Atonement: Christ's sacrifice upon the cross is limited for only his elect and not for the world.
I - Irresistible Grace: God's unsurpassed grace is imputed to those he has chosen and called.
P - Perseverance of the Saints: those who are truly saved will persevere to the very end and cannot lose their salvation.

I will work out a few topics in my next post of a sort of a "creed" that I wrote up the other night addressing 7 different subjects:
1) The Sovereignty of God
2) Does God love everyone?
3) Election
4) Predestination
5) Do we choose God?
6) Salvation: how are we saved?
7) Salvation through works?

Thanks for reading.
