Acrostics and Doctrine

What if John Calvin had been thinking of TURNIPS instead of TULIPS that when he made up his best selling acrostic? Here's what reformed theology might look like today:

T otal depravity
U nconditional election
R eceive healing in return for your love gifts
N ever underestimate the power of positive thinking
I rresistable grace
P reservation of the saints

What comes first, the Acrostic Word or the inspired teaching?
