圣徒恒忍蒙保守（Perseverence of the saints），已得到的救恩不会丧失，上帝必能保守并引导天选之人在信仰的路上得胜。

"Total Depravity – Lutherans and Calvinists agree." Yes this is correct. Both agree on the devastating nature of the fall and that man by nature has no power to aid in his conversions...and that election to salvation is by grace. In Lutheranism the German term for election is Gnadenwahl, election by grace--there is no other kind.
