b"On this episode Coleen and Ashley discuss\\xa0Calvinism, what it is, why we believe it, it's history and some wrong ideas about it.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\nEpisode Resources:\\nFive Points of Calvinism TULIP\\n\\nTotal depravity: Our bondage to sin in Adam is complete in its extensiveness, though not in its intensity. In other words, we\\u2019re not as bad as we can possibly be, but original sin has thoroughly corrupted every aspect of our existence \\u2014 including the will.\\n\\nUnconditional election: Out of his lavish grace, the Father chose out of the fallen race a people from every race to be redeemed through his Son and united to his Son by his Spirit. This determination was made in eternity, apart from anything foreseen in the believer. \\xa0\\n\\nLimited Atonement or Particular redemption, definite atonement: Christ\\u2019s death is sufficient for the whole world, but secured the redemption of the elect.\\n\\nIrresistible Grace or Effectual grace: The Holy Spirit unites sinners to Christ through the gospel and faith is the effect, not the cause, of the new birth.\\n\\nPerseverance of the saints: All of those chosen, redeemed, and regenerated will be given the gift of persevering faith, so that not one will be lost.\\n\\n*Definitions taken from For Calvinism by Michael Horton\\n\\nTULIP and Reformed Theology R.C.
