Calvinism

Calvinism

The central doctrine of the Calvinism is the predestination which contends that some persons are predetermined by God, to go to hell, while others are predetermined to go to heaven, regardless of the actions of these persons. Also the five points are supporting Calvinism which is Total inability, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace and Perseverance of the saints.

Total Inability: all people by their own faculties are unable to choose to follow God and be saved

Unconditional election: God's choice from eternity of those whom he will bring to himself is not based on foreseen virtue, merit, or faith in those people. Rather, it is unconditionally grounded in God's mercy.

Limited atonement: The death of Christ actually takes away the penalty of sins of those on whom God has chosen to have mercy. It is "limited" to taking away the sins of the elect, not of all humanity.

Irresistible grace: The saving grace of God is effectually applied to those whom he has determined to save and, in God's timing, overcomes their resistance to obeying the call of the gospel, bringing them to a saving faith in Christ.

Perseverance of the saints: Any person who has once been truly saved from damnation must necessarily persevere and cannot later be condemned.
