Soteriology: (The Study of Salvation)
I believe in the Biblical Doctrine of TULIP. (List is in the way the events occur)
T: Man is totally depraved. Everything man does including the seemingly good-acts is sin. Man is unable to submit to God or reform himself and is therefore worthy of eternal punishment. (Ephesians 2:1; Ezekiel 36:26; 2 Cor. 4:4-6; Romans 8:7-8, 15:18, 3:9-10, 3:18; 1 Cor. 10:31).
I: Irrestible grace is the sovereign work of God to overcome the rebellion of our heart and bring us to faith in Christ so that we can be saved. When God undertakes to fulfill His sovereign purpose, no one can successfully resist Him. (Daniel 4:35; Psalm 115:5; John 6:44; 64-65; 2 Timothy 2:24-25; 2 Cor. 4:4-6).
L: In the cross God had in view the actual redemption of His children. Christ died for the elect; Christ did not just make the way possible for salvation, but actually saved the elect. Christ did not die for all men in the same sense; the death of Christ actually saves from ALL evil those for whom Christ died. Once again, Christ died for all the sins of some men, making it possible for the irresistible grace of God to flow to the elect, thereby saving them from the wrath of God. (John 10:15, 17:6, 9, 19; 11: 51-52).
U: Election refers to God’s choosing whom to save. God’s choice is unconditional because there is no condition man must meet before God chooses to save him. (Acts 13:48; John 10:29; Romans 9; Ephesians 1:3-6).
P: The people of God WILL persevere to the end and will not be lost. God will so work that those whom He has chosen for eternal salvation will be enabled by Him, to persevere in faith to the end and fulfill, by the power of the Holy Spirit, the requirements for obedience. (John 10:26-30; 1 John 2:19; 1 Thess. 5:23-24; 1 Cor. 1:8-9).
