  • 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)
