1. All human beings are born with free will, and the elects have been unconditionally chosen by God since the beginning of creation.
2. As the elects mature spiritually, their capacity to exercise free will is progressively reduced because of the in-dwelling action of the Holy Spirit. Contrarily, God allows the reprobates to condemn themselves using their free will and become responsible for their actions. On some occasions, God allows the reprobates to circle around to their own free will, oscillating between bad actions and moderate goodness due to common grace.
3. Free will is the indisputable source of sin and consequently evil. Good only comes from God and is expressed by the person by either election or common grace.
4. Two people will never have the same amount of spiritual maturity at any given moment as two drops are never equal.
5. While one person can exercise his free will to commit sin or evil, another person can promote his election by displaying good character and commendable actions to counterbalance the damages of the other person’s free will. These qualities are based on God’s unconditional election and the level of spiritual maturity of the elects or reprobates at the moment of the action.
6. As the elects get closer to God, even if their free will is reduced, they will always keep some free will; this is what it makes all humans sinners. In addition, this free will allows us to understand how necessary God’s grace and mercy are. Thus, the closer a person gets to God, the more susceptible this person becomes to perceiving and reproaching his own sinful actions.
7. If we quit sinning, which is impossible in this life, we quit glorifying God, and without free will worshiping God is fake and meaningless.
8. A Calvinist denies free will, which makes it impossible for him to defend God when an Arminian alleges that, if what the Calvinist claimed is true, then God would be the creator of sin and evil. On the other hand, if an Arminian sustains that God offers us prevenient grace and, using his free will, man takes the last step in his salvation, the Calvinist accuses the Arminian of making God an observer rather than a creator compromising His sovereignty. Escalonism brings the opposing sides to common grounds and, instead of denying the existence of free will as Calvinists propose, Escalonists mainly sustain that free will is the opposite of God’s sovereignty. Thus, instead of helping in our salvation, as Arminians propose, it compromises it.
9. Human beings perceive time as running in a linear fashion from the past to the future because of what we observe, believing that is “time”, it is simply the duration of events comprising the grow and deterioration of material things, including our bodies. God and all spiritual beings inhabit the eternal present, which is not “outside of time,” as some established beliefs proclaim, but in a combination of our past, present, and future brought together in a single plane: the eternal present.
10. Escalonism presents the inevitability of sin and evil being the byproduct of human and celestial interpersonal relationships, negating the disturbing allegation that sin is the result of a purposive manipulation of a sophisticated plan created by God.
