introduction

I am a sola scriptura, sola fide partial calvinist and probably a dispensationalist
meaning I believe:
The Bible is the final authority (interpreted by reverently studying it as a whole and looking to the Holy Spirit for understanding). It is the duty of all believers to search the scriptures to see if their teachers are teaching the truth.

Faith alone (in the completed work of Jesus) saves us-but the faith that saves is never alone.

Total depravity, unconditional election, and perseverance of the saints are accurate understandings of God's revealed word.
Irresistable grace, however runs contrary to several statements God has made in His word.
I cannot decide on a position for limited atonement as God does not seem to have spoken on it.

While God is consistent in His dealings with individuals (whether or not we look to Jesus the Christ for our salvation), He deals with the nations differently through the ages.

I plan to flesh these out later
