Perseverance of the saints

Arguments Supporting Perseverance of the Saints The first argument relies upon an “everlasting pact made between the persons of the Trinity to elect, redeem, and restore a people for God’s glory.” Those who subscribe to such theology believe that God chose certain individuals to receive gift of salvation. Prior to receiving the gift of salvation, the recipients are dead in sin and unable to perceive the things of God (Eph. 2:1). According to this branch of soteriology, God causes sinners to become

The five basic beliefs of the Puritans were total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of saints.

Lutheranism. How did they vary from Lutheranism? Why did Calvinism become the major international form of Protestantism? The main ideas of Calvinism include total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance to the saints (Barlow, n.d.). Total depravity says that sinful nature is all throughout a person. It doesn’t mean that it is an intentional thing but that is an effect of human nature and original sin. It means no one is can be completely clean without

Joan of Arc’s Stumble to Her Legacy Martyr, Saint, and Warrior Joan of Arc elucidates grit through both her perseverance and courage.
