About

The TULIP mind map template provides a comprehensive 262-node exploration of the five points of Calvinism, structured around the acronym TULIP (Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, Perseverance of the saints). It covers the 'Order of salvation' including Election, Regeneration, Conversion, Justification, Adoption, Sanctification, Perseverance, Death, and Glorification, and addresses objections to each point. Key nodes such as 'Inherited guilt' under T, 'Double predestination?' under U, and 'Particular' under L are examined with biblical evidence. This template serves as a detailed TULIP cheat sheet for theology students, pastors, and small group leaders seeking a structured overview of Reformed doctrine. The mind map is organized into five main branches plus an introduction, each containing sub-branches with scripture references and theological distinctions.
