Five Points of Calvinism; Dort; Total Depravity; Irresistible Grace; Perseverance - Pastor Hines 3/3
Pressing on in the Synod of Dort. Always remember, they didn't follow our acronym: TULIP. Their order is: ULTIP. And the TI are addressed under one heading of doctrine.
The Canons of Dort come from an international synod of Reformed people held in Dordtrecht, Netherlands, in 1618-19. While the synod accomplished many other things as well, one of its main purposes was to adjudicate a theological controversy (Arminianism) concerning the way in which believers receive the benefit of Christ. The canons, therefore, are polemic in purpose, articulating Calvinistic beliefs in direct rebuttal of Arminianism. This confession is a very finely tuned piece of theological writing, ably delineating a biblically Reformed perspective on matters central to Christian life and experience.
