This is where I stand.
T is total depravity. I agree with this to the extent that we are born sinners. I'm not too keen on the idea that one such as this can do nothing good or pleasing... ever.
L is Limited Atonement. I agree with this in that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is only effectual to those who believe in Him. He made have died for all men, but only those men who place His Blood on the doorpost will be saved.
P is Persistence of the Saints. OSAS.
Unconditional Election and Irresistable Grace remove man's free will choice to choose or reject Him and this is where I disagree with calvinism.

Simple question. What happened to those who Jesus called to be His disciples? Did they spend time "thinking" about whether to follow Him or not, or did they drop what they were doing and immediately follow Him?
