depending only on the
sovereign choice of God. 1. Election and condemnation
are conditioned upon the
foreseen faith or unbelief
of fallen man.

redemption was made. 2. The atonement was made
universally for all, including
those who refuse to believe.

depend upon man’s believing or not.
3. Man is depraved, and has
no ability to contribute to his
own salvation, or merit the
merits of Christ. 3. Man is only partially
depraved, and still has a free
will capable of submitting to
God’s truth.
4. God’s grace is irresistible. 4. God’s grace can be resisted.
5. The saints will persevere in
the faith, being kept by the power
of God. Their salvation is certain. 5. There is the possibility that
man, having chosen for God, can also
in like manner fall away from God’s grace.”
