The Five Points of Calvinism

The Canon of Dort (“The Five Points of Calvinism”)

Five theological points were formulated to answer the Remonstrants in a document known as the Canon of Dort, which declared:

 

  • that fallen man was totally unable to save himself (Total Depravity) 
  • that God’s electing purpose was not conditioned by anything in man (Unconditional Election) 
  • that Christ’s atoning death was sufficient to save all men, but efficient only for the elect (Limited Atonement) 
  • that the gift of faith, sovereignly given by God’s Holy Spirit, cannot be resisted by the elect (Irresistible Grace) 
  • that those who are regenerated and justified will persevere in the faith (Perseverance of the saints)Also Known As(TULIP)
