The historic Five Points of Calvinism are a summary of the Canons of Dort which were the judgment of the Synod of Dort (1618-1619), where the Reformed churches rejected the teaching of Arminianism. There is no certainty regarding the origin of the acronym 'TULIP' as specifically used to delineate the five points of Calvinism.
In an aside yesterday Dr Lane referred to their origin as now being placed in the early part of the 18th Century. This link gives the background.
