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