Foster preaches about the Calvinist doctrine of effectual calling, emphasizing that only the predestined elect are called by God's grace to salvation, with their wills being renewed and irresistibly drawn to Jesus Christ.

A.A. Hodge presents a comparison of the three main theological systems: Pelagianism, Semipelagianism, and Augustinianism (Socinianism, Arminianism, and Calvinism).

Augustinianism (Calvinism) emphasizes original sin, total depravity, irresistible grace, and unconditional election. Pelagianism (Socinianism) denies original sin, affirms free will, and believes in conditional election. Arminianism falls between these, advocating for free will, resistible grace, and conditional election.
