The presidential election for 2016 is over!  So it’s time to talk about a different kind of election, the election of sinners by God to salvation. Andy shares the five points of Calvinism and Arminianism, the two common theological systems that are debated and compared when discussing God’s role in salvation.  But then the curveball comes, the Lutheran position on election is presented, a position which rarely discussed in the predestination debate among Christians.  The Lutheran understanding of single-predestination is by far a different election from Calvin’s double-predestination.  Some show notes: Five Points of Calvinism T – otal Depravity U – nconditional Election L – imited Atonement I – irresistible Grace P – reservation of the Saints Five Points of Arminianism Free-will, human-ability Conditional Election (Election is Foreknowledge) General Atonement (Objective Justification) The Holy Spirit can be resisted. Falling from Grace Lutherans hold to 1.5 points of Calvinism and 3 Points of Arminianis
