  1. 3rd Period Ms. Dee Beliefs Of The Puritans(Scarlet Letter Project #5) Shana Cannon Janicia Jordan Brianna Hart D’Angelo Simpson

  2. They believed in salvation Believing in salvation is the fate of individual souls that were predetermined by God. The Puritans believed in the absolute sovereignty of God and and the complete dependence on divine grace for salvation.

  3. Demonology Puritans believed in demonic forces, as did almost all Christians of this period. Puritan pastors undertook exorcisms for demonic possession in some high-profile cases, and believed in some allegations of witchcraft.

  4. By reading the Bible the individual also entered a direct relationship with God. The Puritans believed that the Bible was God's true law, and that it provided a plan for living. The established church of the day described access to God as monastic and possible only within the confines of "church authority".

  5. Diversity Various strands of Calvinist thought of the 17th century were taken up by different parts of the Puritan movement, and in particular Amyraldism was adopted by some influential figures (John Davenant, Samuel Ward, and to some extent Richard Baxter).

  6. Millennialism Puritan millennialism has been placed in the broader context of European Reformed views on the millennium and interpretation of Biblical prophecy, for which representative figures of the period were Johannes Piscator, Thomas Brightman, Joseph Mede, Johannes Heinrich Alsted, and John Amos Comenius.[

  7. To do this they could go to Voluntary associations in congregations and churches. Each church congregation was to be individually responsible to God, as was each person. The New Testament was their model and their devotion so great that it permeated their entire society. People of opposing theological views were asked to leave the community or to be converted.

  8. They believed that the church should follow the scriptures exactly. Their interpretation of scriptures was a harsh one. They emphasized a redemptive piety. In principle, they emphasized conversion and not repression.

  9. Limited Atonement - Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone. Limited atonement is a doctrine accepted in some Christian theological traditions. It is particularly associated with the Reformed tradition and is one of the five points of Calvinism.

  10. Irresistible Grace - God's grace is freely given, it cannot be earned or denied. Grace is defined as the saving and transfiguring power of God. Grace: gift from God; not through works - Irresistible Grace is a doctrine in Christian theology particularly associated with Calvinism, which teaches that the saving grace of God is effectually applied to those whom he has determined to save (the elect) and, in God's timing, overcomes their resistance to obeying the call of the gospel, bringing them to faith in Christ.
