***T.U.L.I.P. is an acronym used by Calvinists to describe the main five points of Calvinism. ***

Did Calvin come up with this or did it come about after he he had died, at the time of the Remonstrants who wanted the beliefs of Jacob Arminius.

Wasn’t TULIP the Calvinist answer to them?

< sigh> No.

TULIP is an acronym coined by an unknown person early in the 20th century, to summarize certain points of soteriology.

It follows, roughly, the canons of the Synod of Dordt, which was gathered to deal with the teachings of Jacob Arminius and his followers. 1617, somewhere in there.
