The One Point "Calvinist"
If
you're familiar with the Calvinist system, you're aware of the fact that there
are five points laid out by the system as a convenient way to describe what God
and man's roles in salvation are. The
well-known acrostic TULIP, describes the primary points that the system seeks
to identify. T stands for total depravity, the idea that man is dead in sin
(Ephesians 2:1) and that he needs God to quicken him (Ephesians 2:5) in order
to respond and be saved. U stands for unconditional election. Since man is dead
in sin, God has selected those whom He will to save from the mass of sinners in
the world. L is for limited atonement. God, having chosen those whom He wills
to save, has provided a way for them to be so saved through Christ. I is for irresistible
grace. Again, since man is dead in sin, it is God who has to draw man to
Himself. Man cannot do so of his own accord. And P is for perseverance of the
saints. It is here that we have the one point to which the title of this
article refers.
