Reformed Christianity

Reformed Christianity, or Calvinism, is the form of Christianity which originated during the Protestant Reformation.

It is summarised by the Five Points of Calvinism created by the theologian, John Calvin:

1. Total Depravity: Every aspect of humanity is corrupted by sin, rendering individuals incapable of coming to God without divine intervention.
2. Unconditional Election: God chooses certain individuals for salvation based on His will alone, not on any foreseen merit or action.
3. Limited Atonement: Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was specifically for the elect, effectively securing their salvation.
4. Irresistible Grace: God's grace, when extended to the elect, cannot be resisted and will inevitably lead to their salvation.
5. Perseverance of the Saints: Those whom God has elected and saved will persevere in faith and will not fall away, ultimately reaching eternal salvation.
