Puritan Doctrine was not concerned solely with the purification of the church ceremonies; it also was far more deeply concerned with the purification of human lives. the foremost exponent of Puritanism was John Calvin, who formulated these basic tenets of Puritan ideology:
- Because of Adam's fall, recorded in The Bible, people, born in original sin were naturally depraved; they could do nothing to save themselves.
- God, in his absolute sovereignty, saves some people and damns the rest to Hell; this is know as the doctrine of unconditional election.
- Gos has chosen the elected (saved) from the very beginning of time; this is known as predestination.
- Only by living righteously were people able to think that they had been elected to eternal life; this is referred to as the perseverance of the saints.
- People cannot earn saving grace nor can they refuse it; this is known as the doctrine of irresistible grace.
- Accepting grace and consequent rebirth is called regeneration, or sanctification.
this theological system justified the strict moral code practiced by Puritans in the Massachusetts Colony.
