Doctrinal Foundations

How this platform reads the Bible, and the ten positions that follow from reading it as written.

ABOUT·DOCTRINAL FOUNDATIONS

The lane is stated; the verdict comes after the evidence; the text is the authority.

HOW WE READ
OUR DOCTRINAL POSITIONS

Provisionism

God desires the salvation of every person equally, antecedent to faith, and means it. The plain reading of Ezekiel 33:11, 1 Timothy 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9, and Matthew 23:37.

Free Will

Faith is a genuine human response to a genuine offer. Grace calls and draws; it does not coerce. The dignity of the real response.

Corporate Election

Election in Scripture is corporate before it is individual: three elect bodies, Israel, the elect angels, and the Church-in-Christ.

Union with Christ

Every blessing the believer has, he has in Christ. Chosen in Him, sealed in Him, hidden in Him, revealed with Him.

Royal Trajectory

One royal line from the seed of the woman to the throne in Jerusalem. The promised King will reign.

Dispensationalism

Scripture unfolds through distinct administrations: each on its own terms, each with its own covenant logic.

Pre-Tribulation Rapture

The Church is not appointed to wrath. She is removed (harpazō) before the 70th Week of Daniel, the Tribulation that belongs to Israel.

Young Earth Creationism

Six literal days, a historical Adam, a global Flood, and approximately 6,000 years of biblical chronology: the foundation that the gospel rests on.

Eternal Security

The genuinely saved are permanently sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption: secured not by their performance but by the Sealer.

Universal Atonement

Christ's atoning work was genuinely made for every person. 1 John 2:2's whole world is the whole world. The provision is universal; the application is through genuine faith.

REFERENCE

TULIP, One Verse at a Time

The five points of Calvinism taken one at a time: a single verse for each letter, what it states, and the reread the system has to offer.
