In this series of studies we look at the 5 basic tenets of Calvinism, represented by the acronym TULIP: T (total depravity), U (uncondition election), L (limited atonement), I (irresistible grace) and P (perseverance of the saints). We examine the Calvinist interpretation of each of these tenets and show how they are inconsistent with the teaching of the Scriptures when considered from a dispensational viewpoint.
These Bible lessons were taught by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2023 during the adult Sunday school class at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Unconditional Election - 2
We continue our study of the 2nd tenet of Calvinism, "Unconditional Election," which states that, before the foundation of the world, God unconditionally elected some for salvation through Jesus Christ, not based on their character or works, nor on God's foreknowledge of anything about this person (including their faith), but is solely the sovereign choice of God. We begin looking at the key proof text used to support this teaching, Romans 9:10-16, considering the context for this passage and how it addresses God's dealings with the nation of Israel as opposed to His dealing with individuals (salvation).
