Calvinism and the
Gospel of Christ
A Comparison between the
Bible and the Points of Calvinist Teaching
Many modern
denominations uphold various parts of the teaching of John Calvin. How do the
doctrines of Calvinism compare to the Bible? Is depravity inherited from Adam (original sin) so we are born totally
depraved? Is election
unconditional by predestination, or are we free moral agents? Was the atonement
of Jesus' death limited only to those who are unconditionally predestined, or is
salvation freely offered to all? Does God's grace offer salvation to all based
on man's power to choose, or does it unconditionally give irresistible
justification to the elect? Can a child of God so sin as
to be lost, or are we once saved, always saved (eternal security
of the believer and perseverance of the saints)? Are
we saved just by believing (faith only), or must be meet conditions including
obedience and baptism?
Calvinism includes five major
doctrines. The
free articles below discuss Calvinistic teaching about forgiveness of
sin and salvation in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
