The Five Points of Calvinism - An Overview
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this overview, Steve Gregg describes Calvinism, a theological system that emphasizes God's absolute control over everything that happens. The five points of Calvinism are represented by the acronym TULIP, which stands for Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints. While the idea of God ordaining everything that happens can lead to questions about fairness and impugning the character of God, Calvinists believe that this system glorifies God by choosing the elect and condemning the reprobate.
