Puritan Board Post-Graduate
I am still learning much about the Reformed faith, Protestantsim and Calvinist Presbyterian beliefs. I became a Protestant in 2006 and a Presbyterian in 2007. I have been reading about atonement and Amyraldianism this week.
From what I have read Amyraldism describes a modified form of Calvinism in which the doctrine of limited atonement is rejected. Therefore, Amyraldians believe that the atonement was made for all people, elect and non-elect, yet only those who accept the Gospel—the elect—are saved.
I am also reading that this form of Calvinism is very popular, being held by most dispensationalists and many Calvinists. It is also known as four-point Calvinism and hypothetical universalism. I have discovered the Amyraldian position was first introduced by a man named Moses Amyraut (1596-1664). Could someone elaborate a little on this for me.
I would suspect others might also benefit also by this post, they might have a similar question, both cradle Presbyterians and those of us like me who are converts to the Reformed Protestant faith.
