#30 – How is One Saved? Calvinist and Arminian Answers


Listen Later

In a gracious spirit J.P., Stan, and Jordan discuss the points of agreement and disagreement between the Calvinist and Arminian views of salvation (summarized in Calvinist theology by the acronym TULIP). This good-faith conversation will help listeners consider the implications of these beliefs, especially as they relate to our understanding of God’s nature, our nature, and the gospel message.* 

In this podcast, we discuss:

  • The TULIP acronym: where did it come from and what it does it mean?
  • Total Depravity: what is the difference between the extensive and intensive effects of depravity?
  • Unconditional Election: what does it mean to say God loves us?
  • Limited Atonement: what is the difference between a four or five-point Calvinist? Is the doctrine of Limited Atonement logically consistent with the whole of Calvinism?
  • Irresistible Grace: Is there evidence to support this position in Scripture?
  • Perseverance of the Saints: What is the difference between this and eternal security?
  • Resources and references:

    • The Canons of Dort
    • Roger E. Olson, Arminian Theology: Myths and Realities
    • Stan Wallace, “Predestination or Free Will?”
    • John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion (1960 ed)
    • *As always, the views expressed are those of the participants, and not necessarily those of the podcast’s sponsor Global Scholars. However, Global Scholars does encourage the study and discussion of important issues from the vantage points of theology, philosophy, and other related disciplines, as occurs in this podcast.
