Neo-Calvinism vs. The Bible 038 - Hebrews 11:29. Dr. Andy Woods. 8-3-25.

Here’s a summary of the power points:

Main ideas:

- Calvinism Critique: Calvinism is critiqued for imposing a 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 it builds uncertainty into salvation assurance and is seen as unbiblical 4 5 6 7 8

- Biblical Examples: Scripture provides examples of Old and New Testament believers who did not persevere, contradicting Calvinistic perseverance claims 9 10 11 12 13 14

- Assurance of Salvation: Calvinism is said to destroy assurance of salvation, leaving believers in doubt, whereas biblical assurance is based on faith and God's testimony, not works or perseverance 15 16 17 18 19
