Definition of One Point Calvinism
|
|
To many, the
issue of issue over whether a
person is an
Arminian
or
Calvinist comes down to
whether or not a person believes
that they can lose their
salvation. Those who only
hold to the doctrine of
eternal
security or "once saved,
always saved" may be considered
one point Calvinists.
One point Calvinists may hold to
Arminian doctrine with the exception of the issue of
eternal security or they just may not have any formed
beliefs regarding the other points of Calvinism outside
of the security of one's salvation.
Because the issue of eternal security
is so key to many Christians' beliefs a person may hold
to four points of Arminian doctrine but still call
themselves a one point Calvinist because the one point
is most important to them.
