Addressing Calvinism Considering Scripture

Calvinism, named after John Calvin, emphasizes justification by faith alone and predestination. Its core beliefs are encapsulated in TULIP. However, criticism arises regarding the concepts of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints. The debate revolves around whether these concepts align with scriptural principles. The choice between Calvinism and Arminianism is also questioned.
