What does Paul mean when he talks about death coming through the sin of Adam? What does he mean about life coming through the righteousness of Christ? Let's open up the Bible and see what God is telling us in Romans 5.

Does Calvinism, or Reformed Theology, stand up to the test of God's word? Let's review some of the things we've been talking about and see how this man-made system compares to the Scripture.

Calvinism teaches that once someone is saved, they can never be lost. The Bible clearly talks about people who have abandoned and shipwrecked their faith. Let's dig deep into God's word and find the truth on the matter.

Calvinism teaches that God must choose people to be saved, and that God's choosing is "irresistible". You cannot choose to be lost if God chooses to save. Let's look at what the Bible says about God's election, our selection, and whether or not rejection is possible.

For whom did Jesus die? Did he die for your sins? Did he die to give everyone the possibility to share in salvation? The Bible says that God love the world, meaning everyone, so he sent Jesus to make salvation possible. However, Calvinism teaches something very different...

The "U" in the "TULIP" of Calvinism, or Reformed Theology, is "Unconditional Election". What does it mean to be "elect"? What are the ramifications of saying this election is "unconditional"? Are people capable of choosing to follow God? Let's open the bible and see what God has to say about these things.

The teaching of Calvinism, or Reformed Theology, can be summed up in the acronym "TULIP". The "T" is the flower of Calvinism is "Total Hereditary Depravity" or "Total Inherited Depravity". What does this mean? What does it mean to be depraved and how does it affect our view of God, salvation and the Bible? Let's open the Bible and see if this is something that God teaches.

What is Calvinism? Does it matter if we believe it? Does it change or affect the way we view God and salvation? The answer is: very much in every way. This is one of the greatest dangers facing Christianity today, and we need to be prepared to deal with it in a Biblical way. Join us as we examine the teachings of Calvinism and compare them to what the Bible says.

The resurrection of Jesus is incredibly important, so we need to make sure we have a good understanding of the results of the resurrection. What happened because Jesus was raised from the dead? How are things different for us because of the resurrection?
