Five Points of Calvinism

The Five Points of Calvinism, often summarized by the acronym TULIP, outline core beliefs in this theological perspective: 1. **Total Depravity**: Humanity is inherently sinful and unable to choose God without divine intervention. 2. **Unconditional Election**: God has chosen certain individuals for salvation, not based on their actions but purely by His will. 3. **Limited Atonement**: Christ's sacrifice was specifically intended for the elect, ensuring their salvation. 4. **Irresistible Grace**: When God calls someone to salvation, they cannot resist His grace. 5. **Perseverance of the Saints**: Those truly elected by God will remain faithful and ultimately be saved.
