The Canons of Dort is one of the confessional standards of the Netherlands.
Another name for these canons is the five articles against the Remonstrants. The Remonstrants are the followers of Jacobus Arminius, a Dutch theologian at the beginning of the 17e century.
The Decision of the Synod of Dort (1618-1619) on the Five Main Points of Doctrine in Dispute in the Netherlands, popularly known as the Canons of Dort, is the explanation of the judicial decision of the Synod of Dort. In the original preface, the Decision is called a
judgment, in which both, the true view agreeing with God's word concerning the aforesaid five points of doctrine is explained and, the false view disagreeing with God's Word is rejected.
The Canons are not intended to be a comprehensive explanation of Reformed doctrine, but only an exposition on the five points of doctrine in dispute.
According to the canon, that whatever is imparted in the exercise of Christ's grace implies the opposite in our state by nature, they who were born into God's family were in the opposite familyin the family of Satanbefore.
The Canons of Dordt, however, relate adoption to "The Perseverance of the Saints" in the fifth head of doctrine.
