Calvinism refers to the teachings of John Calvin that have had a tremendous amount of influence in the Christian church, particularly in Reformed theology. In this video, we summarize the 5 points of Calvinism by explaining the acrostic TULIP.

TULIP refers to the following:
T- Total Depravity
U- Unconditional Election
L- Limited Atonement
I- Irresistible Grace
P- Perseverance of the Saints

  • That last 30 seconds is GOLD! As a Christian, we are to follow CHRIST, not any one particular man.
  • This verse really says a lot on whether or not Calvinism is correct. — (1 Timothy 2:3-4) “This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
  • The hardest thing about The Gospel is the simplicity of it. God gives each individual the free will to choose Him. We were created in His image. To be like His son, but we have to choose it. His thought and ways are higher than ours, but never forget He loves us perfectly and perfect love allows us to choose Him or reject Him.

    Man oh man, if I wasn't a believer, I'm sure I'd never become one by reading YouTube comments after "Christian" videos
  • I really appreciate how you're able to explain these concepts without interjecting your own perspective. Not easy to do. Thank you!

    All I know is this. Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
  • I like your last part... I would rather be a follower of Jesus christ rather than a follower of john calvin and arminian theology
  • Peter 3:9 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance
  • Romans 10:13 - "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." And of course there’s John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Psalms 103 is one of my favorites.
  • For God so loved THE WORLD... ANYONE who calls on his name will be saved... 🤔
  • Galatians 6:14 As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died.
  • The Gospel is so simple that it takes theologians to confuse it. When I see doctrines espoused that confuse the flock, especially when founded on the “wisdom” of man, I see exclusion and a narrow focus on the minutia to the exclusion of the whole masterpiece. When somebody tells me they’re “reformed” or a “Calvinist” or a LDS or SDA or JW, I immediately think of Gnostics. Read your Bible and trust the Holy Spirit to clarify what is really important and not about the disputes of so called theologians and their mouthpieces. Start with the Gospels and read what the greatest Teacher of all time said about salvation. It makes all of man’s interpretations wasted ink and breath.
  • Awesome video. Explanation of tulip was great. The last part is where I totally agree. Get into the word of God and let Him teach you His ways. Thanks brother.
