The doctrine or theory, attributed to Melanchthon, that in the regeneration of a human soul there is a coöperation, or joint agency, on the part both of God and of man.
Synergism is from the Greek word [ synergia], meaning, to cooperate with, or to work together. In Christian theology it is the teaching that man's will works together or cooperates with God to accomplish our Salvation. It is based upon one or more of the theories of prevenient grace, all of which are deficient and biblically unsound. [ back
a type of relationship in which two populations accomplish together what neither could accomplish on its own.
the theological doctrine that salvation results from the interaction of human will and divine grace
(from Gr. syn: same, together; ergos: energy, work) Working together, the act of cooperation. In referring to the New Testament, synergism is the idea of being "workers together with" God (2 Cor. 6:1), or of working "out your own salvation . . . for it is God who works in you" (Phil. 2:12, 13). This is not a cooperation between "equals," but finite man working together with Almighty God. Nor does synergism suggest working for, or earning, salvation. God offers salvation by His grace, and man's ability to cooperate also is a grace. Therefore, man responds to salvation through cooperation with God's grace in living faith, righteous works and rejection of evil (James 2:14-26). See also FREE WILL and PASSIONS.
the false teaching which claims that human beings by nature have the power to work with God in their own conversion or to decide for Christ. The Bible teaches that we are spiritually dead by nature (Ephesians 2:1,5) and therefore have no power to cooperate with God in our conversion or salvation.

The cooperative action of two or more organisms producing a greater total result than the sum of their independent effects; chemicals or muscles in synergy enhance the effectiveness of one another beyond what an individual could have produced.
Pharmacological or toxicological interaction in which the combined biological effect of two or more substances is greater than expected on the basis of the simple summation of the toxicity of each of the individual substances
Cooperative interaction.
the simultaneous action of separate agencies which, together, create a greater total effect than the sum of their individual effects.
Interaction of radiation and drugs such as chemotherapy agents, which produces a greater total effect than the sum of the individual effects.
Cooperative effects of two agents giving a total effect greater than the sum of the two effects taken independently.
An interaction between two or more agents (drugs) that produces or enhances an effect that is greater than the sum of the effects produced by the individual agents.
An action where the total effect of two components or agents is greater than the individual effects of the components when simply added together.
Complementary action of different chemicals so that the total effect is greater than the sum of the independent effects.
Two or more items interacting in such as way that the end result is greater than each item could have achieved separately. For example, a client who believes in Satan as an evil, quasi-deity who undergoes recovered memory therapy (RMT) is very likely to recover false memory of Satanic ritual abuse (SRA). Just believing in Satan or just undergoing RMT is much less likely to generate false memories of SRA.
the situation in which the combined effects on a biologic system of two chemicals acting simultaneously is greater than the algebraic sum of the individual effects of these chemicals (Williams and Burson, et al., 1985 p.485).
An interaction of two or more chemicals such that the effect, when combined, is greater than the predicted effect based on the activity of each chemical applied separately.
two factors which, taken together, result in a greater than additive effect.
The working together of different organs or parts of the body so that their combined action is greater than their individual effects.
is the act of working together. Two chemicals which are synergistic have a greater effect together than the sum of their individual effects. The effect can be either positive or negative.
the phenomenon in which the combination of two or more substances (e.g. chemicals) achieves a greater effect than the sum total effectiveness of each individual substance.
the working together of two things (muscles or drugs for example) to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects
Cooperative action of substances whose total effect is greater than the sum of their separate effects.
The combined action of several chemicals, which produces a total effect greater than the effects of the chemicals separately.
The joint activity of two or more ingredients that is greater than the sum of their individual activities.(empty)
The interaction of two or more agents to produce a total effect greater than the sum of the effects of the individual agents.
combined effect of drugs, pollutants, etc., that exceeds the sum of their individual effects
A phenomenon often encountered in chemistry in which one or more properties of a mixture are affected to a far greater extent that would be indicated by adding the values for the components taken individually. To Top
interaction of discrete agencies (as industrial firms), agents (as drugs), or conditions such that the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects. Merriam Webster Dictionary on line. ()
This is when two or more substances work together to create a benefit greater than the sum of each individual benefit.
interaction of two agents producing an effect that is greater than the sum of the effect produced by either agent alone.
The action of two or more substances to create an effect that none of the individual substances are capable of. For example, two drugs have synergism when one of the drugs makes the other drug more effective.
The term used when exposure to two chemicals at the same time produces a much more harmful effect than the sum of the effects of exposure to the individual chemicals
synergistic (adj) [syn, with, together] action of two or more substances such that the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects.
The joint action of agents so that the combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.
When the adverse effect or risk from two or more chemicals interacting with each other is greater than what it would be if each chemical was acting separately.
A phenomenon in which a mixture of 2 chemicals exhibits higher toxicity to a pest than would be expected from their individual toxicities. Can involve either 2 pesticides, or one pesticide plus a substance that is not by itself toxic to the pest, termed a synergist.
A condition where the toxic effects of two or more substances acting together is greater than the sum of the effects of each substance acting alone.
An interaction of two or more chemicals that results in an effect that is greater than the sum of their effects taken independently.
Is the combined effect of two or more active ingredients on the target pest which is greater then the sum of the effects of each active ingredient activity on its own.
an interaction in which the effects of two in combination is greater than the sum of the singular effects.
The term used when 2 or more chemotherapy drugs given together provide a better anti-cancer effect than either of the medications alone.
The combined action of several chemicals which produces a greater effect than would be obtained by simply adding together the effects produced by each chemical separately.
A term used to describe the use of two or more stabilizers in an organic material where the combination of such stabilizers improves the stability to a greater extent than could be expected from the additive effect of each stabilizer.
An interaction between two or more nutrients in which the action of the nutrients is greater when they are taken together than when taken individually.
A situation where a mixture of two or more separate additive materials results in a total effect greater than that of the sum of them.
The concurrent parasitism of a host by two pathogens in which the symptoms or other effects produced are of greater magnitude than the sum of the effects of each pathogen acting alone. ()
