Should Calvinism Be The Blame When Christians Fall Away From the Faith?

In Reformed Theology, there are those who affirm the tenets of The Doctrines of Grace (i.e. Calvinism) in whch the acronymn T.U.L.I.P. (Total Depravity; Unconditional Election; Limited Atonement; Irresistible Grace; Perseverance of the Saints) is described. The last element of TULIP (Perseverance of the Saints) teaches that those who are saved by God are kept by God forever, thus are unable to lose their salvation or fall away from the faith.

What about those who profess to believe in such doctrine, yet fall away or apostatize from the faith? Was their salvation genuine? What are the implications to the teaching regarding eternal security and those who no longer desire to be saved?

Ricky Roldan is our guest discussing this very important issue and answers questions about those who once professed to be Christian, but no longer professes to be.
