NEO-CALVINISM VS THE BIBLE 042 MATTHEW 24:13 • DR. ANDY WOODS • SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • NEO-CALVINISM VS THE BIBLE Here’s a summary of the PowerPoint: · Calvinism Critique: Calvinism is critiqued for imposing philosophy on Scripture, relying heavily on Augustine and altering scriptural meanings to fit its doctrines rather than Scripture itself 1 2 3 · Perseverance Doctrine: The Calvinistic 'Perseverance of the Saints' emphasizes believer's faithfulness to the end, but this view is challenged as unbiblical and undermining assurance of salvation 4 5 6 7 · Scriptural Context: Verses used to support perseverance are often taken out of context; proper exegesis shows these passages address believers but do not mandate continuous faith as a condition for salvation 8 9 10 11 12 · Assurance of Salvation: True assurance of salvation is presented as a privilege for all believers based on God's testimony, not on human works or continuous perseverance, contrasting with Calvinistic doubt 13 14 15 16 · Faith Definition: Biblical faith ('believe') involves trust and reliance, not mere intellectual assent, and salvation is conditioned on faith alone, not ongoing works or perseverance 17 18 19
