Geisler considers himself a "moderate Calvinist", as expressed in his book ''Chosen but Free'' (Harvest House, 2001) and ''Systematic Theology, in One Volume'' (Harvest House, 2012). On the Five Points of Calvinism, he believes:

#All those who are regenerate will, by God's grace, persevere to the end and be saved.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Allen|first1=Bob|title=Traditional Southern Baptists counter Calvinism|url=http://baptistnews.com/faith/theology/item/28790-traditional-southern-baptists-counter-calvinism|website=Baptist News Global|accessdate=December 23, 2014}}</ref>

 

Geisler menyebut dirinya seorang penganut "Calvinisme Moderat" ("''moderate Calvinism''").{{Sfn |Geisler |1999b |p = 129}} Geisler menolak konsep tradisional Kalvinis mengenai ''[[unconditional election]]'' ("pemilihan tanpa syarat"; sebaliknya berargumen bahwa tidak ada syarat hanya dari pihak Allah), ''[[irresistible grace]]'' ("anugerah tidak tertahan"; sebaliknya berargumen bahwa Allah menghimbau mereka yang "mau menerima karya Allah") dan ''[[limited atonement]]'' ("penebusan terbatas"; sebaliknya berargumen bahwa penebusan hanya dibatasi oleh hasilnya). Namun para kritikus menolak istilah "moderate Calvinism".
