4. When God regenerates someone, the person will not reject God’s grace.
5. Every authentic believer will persevere in faith and good works until the end.
The Calvinist response at the Synod of Dort
*“Man cannot, of himself, think, will, or effect what is good.”
*“Apart from regeneration, no one is willing to return to God.”
*“God has from all eternity determined to save those who would believe.”
*“Before the foundation of the world, God chose particular people in Christ to salvation.”
*“Jesus Christ died for all men.”
*“Christ redeemed only those who were chosen from eternity.”
*“Grace is not irresistible.” “Regeneration bends the will back to God.”
*“Whether believers are capable of forsaking their life in Christ, must be more particularly determined.”
*“God is faithful, powerfully preserving the converted in grace to the end.”
