Twisse was a strong defender of a Calvinist, supralapsarian position. The first to articulate the supralapsarian view were Theodore Beza and Jerome Zanchius. Concerning his doctrine of salvation, Twisse was explicitly and staunchly supralapsarian. The Seceders were largely infralapsarian and the Neo-Calvinists usually supralapsarian. Historically, it is estimated that less than 5% of all Calvinists have been Supralapsarian. Scultetus was a Supralapsarian, and taught that view from his position as professor at Heidelberg.
