what was john calvin's salvation theory called?

Answer 1

Five Points Calvinism:

(TULIP)

T -- total depravity. This doesn't mean people are as bad as they can be. It means that sin is in every part of one's being, including the mind and will, so that a man cannot save himself.

U -- unconditional election. God chooses to save people unconditionally; that is, they are not chosen on the basis of their own merit.

L -- limited atonement. The sacrifice of Christ on the cross was for the purpose of saving the elect.

I -- irresistible grace. When God has chosen to save someone, He will.

P -- perseverence of the saints. Those people God chooses cannot lose their salvation; they will continue to believe. If they fall away, it will be only for a time.

Answer 2

I don't know what it's called, precisely, aside from the doctrine of predestination, but 5-point Calvinism is typically represented by the "TULIP" mnemonic device:

Total depravity of man

Unconditional election

Limited atonement

Irresistible grace

Perseverance of the saints

Answer 3

His was the theory of predestination, by which He said God had only saved some of us and these were predestined since the beginning of the world, so are the damned. The thing is that nobody knows, according to him, who is saved or not, only God. But you could see some signs to recognize them, one of them was laboriousness, cleanliness, and wealth, yup, wealth.

I must say i don;t agree, i am catholic and i beleive Christ died on the cross for everybody's sins and that god predestined us all to be saved but it's us who can reject hi,. Also Jeus never said that to be rich was a sign of election, he actually said the whole opposite many many times.

Answer 4

Grace.
