HIERARCHY

T.U.L.I.P. is the acronym for this doctrine

The ‘T’    Total depravity as the birth status of all as the result of the ‘Fall ‘of the first man and woman

The ‘U’    Unmerited gift as the imputed atonement of CHRIST gifted as the changed status of a person

The ‘L’     Limited number whose ‘fallen’ status is gifted by GOD with a ‘regenerated” status

The ‘I’      Irresistible gift of a ‘redeemed’ status is the work of the sovereign predetermination of GOD

The ‘P’     Perseverance is GOD’S certain completion of the work initiated at the time of regeneration

Salvation     A person who has been gifted with the status of ‘Regenerated’.  GOD imputes the atoning work by CHRIST, the SPIRIT indwells the person, and he is an adopted member of CHRIST’S household.
