And His justice requires (as He hath revealed Himself in His Word), that our sins committed against His infinite majesty should be punished, not only with temporal, but with eternal punishment, both in body and soul; which we cannot escape unless satisfaction be made to the justice of God.
God's decrees are associated with his foreknowledge of man's response. And these proclaim, as did the wicked Socinus, a new and strange justification of man before God against the consensus of the whole church. Thus, it is not in consequence of their own merits or strength, but of God’s free mercy, that they do not totally fall from faith and grace, nor continue and perish finally in their backslidings; which, with respect to themselves, is not only possible, but would undoubtedly happen; but with respect to God, it is utterly impossible, since His counsel cannot be changed nor His promise fail, neither can the call according to His purpose be revoked, nor the merit, intercession and preservation of Christ be rendered ineffectual, nor the sealing of the Holy Spirit be frustrated or obliterated. (Rom.
how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For the experience of all ages and the Scriptures do both testify that this is untrue. Compare Major Beliefs of 7 Christian Denominations, What Is Jansenism? 6:17-18). 2:8).
Of the Corruption of Man, His Conversion to God, and the Manner Thereof. Arminianism. The third and fourth sections were purposely combined into one since the Dortian divines considered them inseparable, and hence are designated as "Head of Doctrine 3/4.".
2:3). Those thus saved God graciously preserves so they persevere until the end, even though they may be troubled by many infirmities as they seek to make their calling and election sure. That it is not absurd that one having lost his first regeneration, is again and even often born anew. That God, simply by virtue of His righteous will, did not decide either to leave anyone in the fall of Adam and in the common state of sin and condemnation, or to pass anyone by in the communication of grace which is necessary for faith and conversion.
Amen.
Calvinism: Believers will persevere in salvation because God will see to it that none will be lost.
That Christ by His satisfaction merited neither salvation itself for anyone, nor faith, whereby this satisfaction of Christ unto salvation is effectually appropriated; but that He merited for the Father only the authority or the perfect will to deal again with man, and to prescribe new conditions as He might desire, obedience to which, however, depended on the free will of man, so that it therefore might have come to pass that either none or all should fulfill these conditions. Instead Arminius proposed that the election of God was of believers, thereby making it conditional on faith. Atonement is the most controversial aspect of the Calvinism vs. Arminianism debate.
All are so totally depraved and corrupted by sin that they cannot effect any part of their salvation; in sovereign grace God irresistibly calls and regenerates the elect to newness of life.
They may be summarized as follows: Unconditional election and faith are sovereign gifts of God.
The true doctrine (concerning corruption and conversion) having been explained, the Synod rejects the errors of those who teach: That it cannot properly be said that original sin in itself suffices to condemn the whole human race or to deserve temporal and eternal punishment.
The fault lies in themselves, some of whom when called, regardless of their danger, reject the word of life; others, though they receive it, suffer it not to make a lasting impression on their heart; therefore, their joy, arising only from a temporary faith, soon vanishes and they fall away; while others choke the seed of the Word by perplexing cares and the pleasures of this world, and produce no fruit. For these, while they feign that they present this distinction in a sound sense, seek to instill into the people the destructive poison of the Pelagian errors. This same dynamic between Arminianism and Calvinism can be seen in the heated discussions between friends and fellow Methodist ministers John Wesley and George Whitefield.
5:8, 9).
To those who murmur at the free grace of election and just severity of reprobation, we answer with the apostle: "Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?"
Calvinism: Jesus Christ died to save only those who were given to him (elected) by the Father in eternity past. The Synod held 154 formal sessions over a period of seven months (November 1618 to May 1619). By which gross error they make God to be changeable, and destroy the comfort which the godly obtain out of the firmness of their election, and contradict the Holy Scripture which teaches that the elect cannot be led astray: "Insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect" (Matt. Calvinism vs. Arminianism vs. Evangelicalism Don’t follow any doctrine that’s named after a man (no matter how much you admire him). But God is faithful, who having conferred grace, mercifully confirms and powerfully preserves them therein, even to the end. At the same time, Wesley attacked the determinism that he claimed characterized unconditional election and maintained a belief in the ability to lose salvation.
The Arminian may insist that a person can fall away and lose his or her salvation. For the unrelated national and ethnic group, see Armenians.
That true believers and regenerate can sin the sin unto death or against the Holy Spirit.
