The 5 points of Calvinism/Reformed theology/Biblical truths explained.T - Total Depravity Humanity is stained by sin in every aspect: heart, emotions, will, mind and body. This means people cannot independently choose God. God must intervene to save people. Calvinism insists that God must do all the work, from choosing those who will be saved to sanctifying them throughout their lives until they die and go to heaven. Calvinists cite numerous Scripture verses supporting humanitys fallen and sinful nature, such as Mark 7:21-23, Romans 6:20, and 1 Corinthians 2:14. U - Unconditional Election God chooses who will be saved. Those people are called the Elect. God picks them based not on their personal character or seeing into the future, but out of his kindness and sovereign will. Since some are chosen for salvation, others are not. Those not chosen are the damned, destined for eternity in hell. L - Limited Atonement Jesus Christ died only for the sins of the Elect, according to John Calvin. Support for this belief comes from verses that say Jesus died for many, such as Matthew 20:28 and Hebrews 9:28. Those who teach Four Point Calvinism believe Christ died not for just the Elect but for the entire world. They cite these verses, among others: John 3:16, Acts 2:21,1 Timothy 2:3-4, and 1 John 2:2. I - Irresistible Grace God brings his Elect to salvation through an internal call, which they are powerless to resist. The Holy Spirit supplies grace to them until they repent and are born again. Calvinists back this doctrine with such verses as Romans 9:16, Philippians 2:12-13, and John 6:28-29. P - Perseverance of the Saints The Elect cannot lose their salvation, Calvin said. Because salvation is the work of God the Father; Jesus Christ, the Savior; and the Holy Spirit, it cannot be thwarted. Technically, however, it is God who perseveres, not the saints themselves. Calvins doctrine of perseverance of the saints is in contrast to theology of Lutheranism and the Roman Catholic Church, which hold that people can lose their salvation. - About Christianity
