    6. TULIP Total Depravity: result of Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God-fall of man Unconditional Election: God has divided everyone into 2 groups- Knowledgeable about God and ignorant about God Limited Atonement: Jesus didn’t die to save all humans, only for specific sins of sinners who were saved Irresistible Grace: every human whom God has been elected will inevitably come to a knowledge of God Perseverance of the Saints: “once saved, always saved”

    10. Calvinism-Sacraments The sacraments that Calvinists acknowledge are baptism and the Lord’s Supper Baptism: gets rid of original sin and teaches them to obey everything God has taught Lord’s Supper (communion): receiving Jesus body and blood- symbolism Calvinists celebrate communion in remembrance of Christ, his work, and his sacrificial death on the cross

    12. Priests were referred to as Preachers Priests were allowed to marry because it was a strong faith was all that mattered and one had already been chosen to be saved or not Women had no special role but they were encouraged to join
