I think that TULIP results from a simple basking in the light of the sovereign God. It amazes me when people say that Calvinism is too elitist and academic, it really is not and it becomes obvious and easy when you are willing to accept God's sovereignty.
Of course accepting God's sovereignty is not an easy thing for sinful man to do, most of us find it a difficult transition.
It is lovely when people see the "sense" of Calvinism, some people even think that holding to TULIP is a constant battle, lots of things in life are a battle but but holding to the five points is not one of them. Living according to those points is much more difficult.

) anyway, she went to a big RUF thing down in Florida. She has been to different classes/sessions. Well, I talked to her a few nights ago and she had been to a 2 night session focusing on TULIP: She told me "It is suddenly all starting to make sense!"
