The Christian doctrines taught preeminently by John Calvin. Emphasis is placed on the sovereignty of God, and one distinctive of the system is its doctrine of predestination, which teaches that a special few are predetermined for salvation by God
the system of doctrine taught by john calvin
{n} the doctrine held by Calvin
the Christian religious teachings of John Calvin, based on the idea that events on Earth are controlled by God and cannot be changed by humans. In Protestantism, the theology developed and advanced by John Calvin. It was further developed by his followers and became the foundation of the Reformed church and Presbyterianism. As shaped by Calvin's successor at Geneva, Theodore Beza (1519-1605), Calvinism emphasizes the doctrine of predestination, holding that God extends grace and grants salvation only to the chosen, or elect. It stresses the literal truth of the Bible, and it views the church as a Christian community in which Christ is head and all members are equal under him. It therefore rejects the episcopal form of church government in favor of an organization in which church officers are elected. Calvinism was the basis of theocracies in Geneva and Puritan New England (see Puritanism), and it strongly influenced the Presbyterian church in Scotland
{i} doctrines and teaching of John Calvin (French theologian and reformer)
The five chief points of Calvinism are: (1) Predestination, or particular election (2) Irresistible grace (3) Original sin, or the total depravity of the natural man, which renders it morally impossible to believe and turn to God of his own free will (4) Particular redemption (5) Final perseverance of the saints
The theological tenets or doctrines of John Calvin (a French theologian and reformer of the 16th century) and his followers, or of the so-called calvinistic churches
Broadly influential Protestant theology emanating from the French theologian John Calvin, who fled to Switzerland, where he reordered life in the community of Geneva according to his concep­tion of the Bible Calvinism emphasized the power and omnipotence of God and the importance of seeking to earn saving grace and salvation, even though God had already determined (the concept of predestination) who would be eternally saved or damned
In Christian theology, the label attached to proponents of the major views taught by John Calvin, especially relating to God's sovereignty and human freedom, and usually incorporating the Calvinist "TULIP" -- T = Total depravity, U = Unconditional election, L = Limited (or definite) atonement, I = Irresistible grace, and P = Perseverence of the saints (eternal security)
Jean Caulvin (1509-1564) was a prominant French reformer and pastor in Geneva His teachings have remained foundational in the reformed church over the ages In 1619 the Synod of Dordtrecht systematized his teachings on soteriology in response to the remonstrance of James Harmenz (Latin Arminius) Since then, Calvinism has been identified with the five creedal doctrines which the Synod of Dort laid out
A system of Christian interpretation initiated by John Calvin It emphasizes predestination and salvation The five points of Calvinism were developed in response to the Arminian position (See Arminianism) Calvinism teaches: 1) Total depravity: that man is touched by sin in all parts of his being: body, soul, mind, and emotions, 2) Unconditional Election: that God’s favor to Man is completely by God’s free choice and has nothing to do with Man It is completely undeserved by Man and is not based on anything God sees in man (Eph 1: 1-11), 3) Limited atonement: that Christ did not bear the sins of every individual who ever lived, but instead only bore the sins of those who were elected into salvation (John 10: 11,15), 4) Irresistible grace: that God's call to someone for salvation cannot be resisted, 5) Perseverance of the saints: that it is not possible to lose one's salvation (John 10: 27-28)
The system of religious beliefs formulated by the French Protestant reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) and his followers These religious beliefs are marked by a strong emphasis on the sovereignty of God and by the doctrine of predestination
The system of theology that recognizes that salvation is by God's grace alone as man is totally unable and unwilling to turn to Christ for salvation See also Calvinism and comparison chart
Jean Cauvin (John Calvin) was the first systematic theologian of the Protestant movement His Institutes of the Christian Religion are justly considered a theological and literary masterpiece The term Calvinism generally refers to the Calvinistic position on the atonement, formulated by the Synod of Dort in 1619 It is legitimately drawn from scripture and within the historic mainstream: God has determined in advance who will be saved and who will be condemned Jesus died only for the elect (That is, He did not die to save the people that God predetermined were going to hell ) We cannot choose to be saved or to be condemned; God has already determined that The grace of God is irresistible No one who is chosen by God for salvation can turn it down All the elect will finally be saved Apostasy (the deliberate abandonment of salvation) is impossible In some quarters, this point is known as Eternal Security
the theological system of John Calvin and his followers emphasizing omnipotence of God and salvation by grace alone
An ambiguous term, used with two quite distinct meanings First, it refers to the religious ideas of religious bodies (such as the Reformed church) and individuals (such as Theodore Beza) who were profoundly influenced by John Calvin, or by documents written by him Second, it refers to the religious ideas of John Calvin himself Although the first sense is by far the more common, there is a growing recognition that the term is misleading See pp 60-1
