1. Unconditional Election - God "saves" those he wishes - only a few are selected for salvation.
"God has laid himself under no obligation, by any promise to keep any natural man out of hell one moment."
2.Limited Atonement - Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone.
"God certainly has made no promises either of eternal life, or of any deliverance or preservation from eternal death, but what are contained in the covenant of grace, the promises that are given in Christ, in whom all the promises are yea and Amen."
3.Total Depravity - through Adam and Eve's fall, every person is born sinful - concept of Original Sin.
"It is no security to a natural man, that he is now in health, and that he does not see which way he should now immediately go out of the world by any accident, and that there is no visible danger in any respect in his circumstances."
Jonathan Edwards refered to the sinful man as "natural" here, supporting total depravity.
