From my studies, TULIP originated at the Synod of Dordtrecht. The "Five Points" as mentioned above came first from the Remonstrance which consisted of 5 major doctrines contained in the Belgic Confession and which were rejected by the followers of Arminius. The response and judgment by the Synod held at Dortrecht was formulated using 5 main points to refute the 5 points of contention of the Remonstrants' document. The original order of the points was rearranged thereafter from U-L-T-I-P using the acrostic T-U-L-I-P. But, I repeat myself. giggle
