	These hints are not accurate depictions of Calvinist beliefs. The acronym TULIP was not made by Calvin, but was made by English-speaking Calvinists who were summarizing the teachings found in the Canons of Dordt, which were summarizing some of the controversial points or Calvin's soteriology.

	@chietuste, while it is common knowledge that Calvin did not develop the TULIP acronym, I do believe these are accurate descriptions of the TULIP and how it represents Classic Calvinism.

	@bbriles With the first, I must disagree; I don't think it's common knowledge at all. But that may just be in the circles I run. With the second, let me clarify. Nothing in the hints is wrong, but I don't think they're very accurate depictions. L for example: Calvin did say that only so many people can be saved, because the intent, the efficacy of the atonement saves the elect only. The current wording of the hint (without further explanation) leads the reader to believe (in my opinion) that there is some external cap on the number who can be saved. I don't mean to get in a theological debate. I just want to clarify my earlier comment.

	I think the current reading of Limited atonement is quite accurate. Either way you slice it, it boils down to the belief that the atonement is not for everyone. Whats the difference in saying there is a cap on the number who can be saved and that only so many people (the ones God has elected) can be saved?

	At face value, there's not much difference. But when you exam the two statements, they're very different. If there's a cap, it gives the (false, according to Calvinism) impression that there are those wanting to get in to heaven or be saved who didn't make the cut. There's some external regulation of the number to be saved. What limited atonement actually says is that Christ's death actually accomplished salvation (rather than just making it possible). If His death actually accomplishes saves people, and only the elect are saved, then His death must be for the elect only, otherwise everyone would be saved. The emphasis of limited atonement is on what the atonement is intended to accomplish and what it actually accomplishes (i.e. salvation for the elect), rather than any numerical amount being capped.
