The book of Deuteronomy is the story of the history of the Israelites as God's chosen people, who live their lives only because of God's leadership and power. Living by loving God with all your heart, strength and mind is the only way to experience God's power and love. The book's actual name in Hebrew is summarized in the opening line that reads "these are the words". The book of Deuteronomy is addressed to the Israelites as a people who have been bound by a Covenant with God. The messages given by Moses were intended for the Israelites in an effort to prepare the Israelites before entering the land of Canaan. Therefore Deuteronomy 6:4-25 is a summary of the maturing process of family faith in Israel called Shema which must receive full attention and recognition for families in God. The confession of faith is an acknowledgment that states the oneness and uniqueness of the Lord God of Israel, specifically in God's relationship with His people, and how God's people should respond to God.

But it is undeniable that deep the development of God's church emerged developing theologies. The emergence of the theological schools of Calvinism and Arnanism basically have different theological contents from each other. In the development of the church, the appearance of two different views, Arminian and Calvinism, has indeed had a big impact because the theological content of these two views is different from one another. Evangelicals understand salvation as a complex subject to deal with. If Calvinism emphasizes God's sovereignty over humans, Armenism emphasizes human responsibility in responding to God's grace, then Evangelicals emphasize both. God and man have their respective roles in the experience of salvation. This certainly should not be interpreted allegorically, the role between God and humans must be seen as a whole Biblically. This article will discuss the polarization of Armenians and Calvinists from the perspective of evangelicals. The method used is to outline the core teachings of the Armenians, Calvinists and the perspectives of the Evangelicals on the doctrine of salvation.
