It is no novelty, then, that I am preaching; no new doctrine. I love to proclaim these strong old doctrines that are called by nickname Calvinism, but which are truly and verily the revealed truth of God as it is in Christ Jesus.
Charles Hadden Spurgeon

Reformed Theology can be distilled down to the Five Solas of the Reformation:
Sola Gratia By Grace alone
Sola Scriptura By the Scriptures alone
Sola Fide By Faith alone
Solus Christus Through Christ alone
Soli Deo Gloria Glory to God alone
Reformed Theology is also known as Calvinism, which can be summed up in the acronym TULIP:
Total Depravity: sinfulness pervades all areas of life and the hearts of all people.
Unconditional Election: God chooses who will be saved because we are dead in our sins (the Elect).
Limited Atonement: Jesus Christ died to save those whom He would choose to save (the Elect)
Irresistible Grace: the Elect are powerless to resist the efficient call of God to repentance and salvation.
Perseverance of the Saints: the Elect cannot lose their salvation.
“You contribute nothing to your salvation except the sin that made it necessary.”
Jonathan Edwards
As Reformed Baptists, we affirm that salvation comes through Christ alone and not of our works (Eph. 2:9). Like Martin Luther, we believe that “justification is by faith alone, but not by faith that is alone.” We affirm that regeneration precedes faith and that faith is a gift from God bestowed on those whom He created as vessels of mercy before the foundation of the world. We affirm that God is sovereign in all things, in all ways, and in all times. Above all, He is Holy, Holy, Holy.
The power of believing is a result, not of an act of our independent will, but it is the fruit of God’s sovereign act of changing the disposition of our hearts
