I found this on facebook, a group who were saying they were 4-pt Calvinists under the name of TUIP. What really is this view and what are its implications?
Here is what I found on facebook:
The multiple purpose view of the atonement is an attempt to incorporate the whole scope of the the meaning of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross as presented in the Bible. According to this position, there are weak points on both traditional side of this view (Limited Atonement and Unlimited Atonement). Both of these views run into "trouble" texts in the New Testament. We, the four pointers, believe that there is an alternative to both traditional views that more adequately follows the teachings of scripture. Proponents of this view call it the Multiple Purpose Atonement view. As the name implies, the atonements is not simply understood in the Bible as accomplishing one things.
As presented by Bruce A. Ware, of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the multiple purposes of the atonement are as follows:
1.) Limited Scope Purpose
2.) Limitless Scope Purpose
3.) Bona Fide Offer Purpose
4.) Just Condemnation Purpose
5.) Cosmic Triumph Purpose
