"T.U.L.I.P." is an acronym for the five scriptural points of the doctrine of salvation
which was the result of the Synod of Dordt in the 1618.  The reason for this synod
was to address the 5 points of doctrine which the Arminian Remonstrants presented to the
Reformed Churches of Europe.
The acronym stands for:
T. Total Depravity
U. Unconditional Election
L. Limited Atonement
I. Irresistable Grace
P. Perserverance of the Saints (believers)
Additionally:
God's Sovereignty
Reprobation

LIMITED ATONEMENT


The issue of the atonement is not the WORTH of it. The death of Christ is of infinite worth.

  When we use the term "limited" we are referring not to the value of the atonement, 
but to the scope of it.  Some Calvinists have therefore preferred not to use the term
"limited atonement," realizing that all but universalists limit the atonement either 
in respect to its intention or in respect to its power.  If it is limited in respect to
its intention, then it does not apply to all men.  If it is limited with respect to its
power, then it does not apply to all men.  If it is limited with respect to its power,
then it does not actually save, but merely makes salvation a possibility.  Now I have
no problem with the term, because it fits the acrostic TULIP quite nicely.  Nevertheless,
a lot of ink has been wasted attacking and defending this particular doctrine when,
in fact, the attackers often did not understand what they were attacking, but simply
bristled at the idea of anything pertaining to Christ being "limited." The issue in
the doctrine of limited atonement is:  Who did Christ actually redeem, anyway?    


1.	Christ came not merely to enable men to be saved, but actually to save them.

Matthew 1:21		He shall save his people from their sins
Luke 19:10		Christ came to seek and to save what was lost
2 Corinthians 5:21	he was made sin for us
Galatians 1:4		Christ gave himself to deliver us.
1 Timothy 1:15		Jesus came to save sinners
Titus 2:14		He gave himself for us to redeem us.
1 Peter 3:18		Suffered to bring us to God
2 Corinthians 5:14-15	Christ died for all who die to sin
Ephesians 5:25		Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.
Acts 20:28		Christ purchased the church with his own blood
Isaiah 53:6		The Lord has laid our sins upon Christ
Ephesians 1:7		We have actual redemption
Hebrews 1:3		Sins are actually purged.


2.	As a result of Christ's work, his people are reconciled to God, justified,
given the Holy Spirit who regenerates and sanctifies them.  All these blessings were
actually secured by Christ.

Romans 5:10		we were reconciled by the death of God's Son
2 Corinthians 5:18-20	God reconciled us to himself by Christ
Ephesians 2:15-16	Christ abolished enmity of ordinances and 
			reconciled us to God by the cross.
Colossians 1:21-22	Christ reconciled us by the body of his flesh through death
Hebrews 2:17		he made reconciliation  for the sins of his people.
1 John 2:2		Christ is propitiation for sin
1 John 4:10		his Son the propitiation for our sins.


3.	Christ secured righteousness for his people

Romans 3:24-15		Redemption secures justification
Romans 5:8-9		Justified by his blood
1 Corinthians 1:30	He is made to us wisdom, righteousness,sanctification & redemption.
Galatians 3:13		Christ made a curse for us
Colossians 1:13-14	He has delivered us from the power of darkness.
Hebrews 9:12		blood of Christ obtained eternal redemption
Hebrews 9:15		death is redemption of transgressions
1 Peter 1:18-19	        redeemed ... with the precious blood
1 Peter 2:24		he bare our sins

4.	Christ, by his atonement, secured the gift of the Spirit, which includes 
        regeneration and sanctification and all that is involved with them.

Ephesians 1:3-4	        all spiritual blessings based  upon being chosen in Christ
Philippians 1:29	even suffering "given" to us in behalf of Christ
Acts 5:31		God gives repentance and forgiveness
Titus 2:14		Christ gave himself for us - to redeem and purify.

Hebrews 10:10		Sanctified by the offering of the body of Christ
Ephesians 5:25-26	Christ gave himself for the church to sanctify and cleanse it.
1 Corinthians 1:30	wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and righteousness from Christ
Hebrews 9:14		Christ's blood purges our conscience from dead works
Hebrews 13:12		Jesus' blood sanctifies his people
1 John 1:7		Christ's blood cleanses us from all sin


5.	Jesus laid down his life for his sheep.  They are those who are made to hear his
        voice (i.e. obey his voice) and follow him.

John 10:11	        the good shepherd gives his life for his sheep (by implication:
                        not for wolves or goats.)
John 10:14		he knows them and is known by them
John 10:15		lays down his life for his sheep
John 10:16		other sheep which he must bring - they too shall hear his voice
John 10:26		his detractors did not believe because they were not of his sheep
John 10:27		his sheep hear his voice and follow him
John 10:28		the sheet shall never perish


6.	Jesus, in his high-priestly prayer, prayer not for the world but for those given
        to him by the Father

John 17:9		Christ prayed for those given to him out of the world (cf.v.6)
John 17:20		Christ prayed also for those who would believe on Christ


7.	Paul traced all the blessings which the saints inherit (including redemption)
back to the fact that they were chosen in the eternal counsel of God. (Ephesians 1:3-12)

Ephesians 1:3-4	        all spiritual blessings (and redemption is a spiritual blessing)
are ours based upon God choosing us in Christ before the foundation of the world 
...to sanctification as well as justification.

Ephesians 1:5		God predestinated us to adoption according to the good 
                        pleasure of his will
Ephesians 1:7		Our redemption is secured by his blood -as also forgiveness of sins.


-  Jesus was sent into the world by the Father to save the people that the Father 
   had given him. None of them shall be lost.

John 6:35-40:	 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me
                 shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
                 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
                 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me
                 I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine
                 own will, but the will of him that sent me.  And this is the Father's will
                 which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
                 but should raise it up again at the last day.  And this is the will of him
                 that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him,
                 may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.



IRRESISTIBLE GRACE
(Efficacious call/regeneration/irresistible grace)

The gospel extends a call to repent to everyone who hears its message 
(Acts 17:30)  It promises salvation to all who repent and believe.  
Yet, because men are dead in trespasses and sins, men do not respond
to the gospel call.  Men, of themselves, are both unwilling and unable savingly
to respond to the gospel call.  No amount of external pleading, bargaining, threatening,
or promising can cause blind, dead, deaf, rebellious sinners to bow the knee to Christ.
Such an act is totally contrary to man's nature. There is, for the elect, an inward 
call by the Holy Spirit attached to the outward call of the gospel.  This is sometimes
called regeneration, being "born again or from above,"a new creation, etc.
For the purpose of our acrostic it is called "irresistible grace."

PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS


  This doctrine has sometimes wrongly (by both advocate and enemy) been referred to as
"once saved always saved."  That is a very poor way of looking at it, however.  
In reality, what the doctrine teaches is that the elect are kept in faith by
the Spirit of God.  It does not teach that if we quit believing (trusting)
Christ that we are still Christians. This doctrine does not teach that all who
profess Christ are certain of heaven.  Rather, it teaches that all true believers
will continue (though there may be periods of doubting, etc) in faith 
- and because they persevere they are secure. Neither is this doctrine identical
with assurance.  Many may be true Christians who still lack assurance of God's love
and others may have a false assurance who are really not God's children at all.

	This hardly "exhausts" the texts that demonstrate that believers are kept by
the power of God unto salvation, but it should be enough to demonstrate that the doctrine
is drawn from Scripture and not simply used as a cloak for lasciviousness (though there may
be some who use it that way,
 it will condemn them in the judgment).
