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.

Irresistible Grace - 3
(John 6:30-40) We continue looking at Jesus' discourse on being the Bread of Life, in which He exposes the multitudes, who are following Him for the wrong reasons, as superficial disciples. Jesus declares that all those given Him by the Father will come to Him and He will not cast out. While Calvinists insist this is a reference to the elect, Jesus' prayer in John 17 shows that those given to Him by the Father already belonged to the Father, having heard and believed the Word.
