Biblical Calvinist wrote:
The five points of Calvinism otherwise known as TULIP, are the Doctrines of Grace. 'Of Grace' because they are entirely Scriptural and received only by the grace of faith.
The five points came from the meeting held by the Synod of Dordrecht (Dordt) held in 1619. The documents the Synod produced are entitled the Canons of Dordt.
The five points of Calvinism are accurately and entirely Biblical and a response to the five points brought out by the Arminian heretics.
The Arminian heretics embraced the salvation by works ideology of the Roman Catholic heretics.
Thus for the Arminians
1. Sin is not influential in mortals. Thus the sinner can overcome it by his free will.
2. Election is influenced by the sinner. (Salvation by works).
3. Atonement is universal which proves it does not work for the majority.
This begets the question, Did Christ need to die?
4. Grace is not really very powerful. Thus man can resist the Holy Spirit By his "free will." (Pretty powerful these Arminians)?
5. Man can loose his salvation easy peasy.
If you are not a Calvinist then you are some form of Arminian. Good luck.
