| | Arminianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Arminianism is most accurately used to define those who affirm the original beliefs of Jacobus Arminius himself, but the term can also be understood as an umbrella for a larger grouping of ideas including those of Hugo Grotius, John Wesley, Clark Pinnock, and others. | | | The majority Arminian view is that election is individual and based on God's foreknowledge of faith, but a second perspective deserves mention. | | | Perseverance in faith – Arminians believe that future salvation and eternal life is secured in Christ and protected from all external forces but is conditional on remaining in Christ and can be lost through apostasy. |

| | Calvinism, Arminianism, and Biblicalism - What does the Bible teach? |
| | Arminianism teaches that God's will is for all to be saved and those who come to accept Jesus Christ do it both with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and them accepting the revelation of Jesus Christ themselves. | | | Arminianism is a word that is used to express the doctrinal views that man is free to choose God and was not forced or chosen without any decision on their part. | | | Arminianism teaches what is called the "abide in Me doctrine" which means as long as you are following and obeying the Lord in your life you have eternal life, but if one falls off the path whether in sin or loses faith they truly have become Apostates and have lost their salvation. |

| | Is Arminianism a Different Gospel |
| | Arminianism was,indeed, in Reformed eyes a renunciation of New Testament Christianity in favour of New Testament Judaism; for to rely on oneself for faith is no different in principle from relying on oneself for works, and the one is as un-Christian and anti-Christian as the other."[3] | | | While affirming God's grace, Arminianism claims that God merely offers salvation and it is up to man who decides to accept or reject the gospel. | | | Arminianism, in typical Semi-Pelagian style, teaches self-help religion. |

| | The Humanism of Arminianism |
| | Arminianism is the choice gem of religious ignorance, and Humanism is the idolized brainchild of intellectualism. | | | Arminianism defined: It is a religious system centered in man. According to Arminianism, it is man that makes the decrees of God effectual. | | | The advocates of Arminianism and Humanism rebuke all who proclaim the immutable sovereignty of God over His universe, and all that is therein. |

| | Arminianism |
| | Basically, Arminianism is the belief that God has given man the choice to accept Him or reject Him. | | | The controversy rages to this day but the Calvinist doctrines are generally confined to those that also deny unity in the churches, the prophetic spirit, the ecumenical movements and the social gospel, so nothing is lost by their absence except that Jesus would rather use them for His glory. | | | The term Arminianism comes from Jacobus Arminius who was a Divinity Professor at Leiden University in Holland early in the seventeenth century. |

| | john15.net ~ Classic Arminianism |
| | Arminianism: A systematic theology which, in its most concise terms, holds that God draws people, and those who come to faith are predestined to salvation. | | | Note, Arminianism is not a formulated version Pelagianism (as some think), as we do not deny original sin; nor is Arminianism a variation of Semipelagianism, as we also hold that God must take the first steps before a person could come to faith. | | | Most important of all, theology is a means of worship, and we are called to love God with all of one's mind (Matt. |

| | What Arminian and Arminianism mean |
| | But other Arminians, the reprobate, glorying in their free will, will no doubt believe it until they are condemned in the judgment. | | | While it might be difficult to determine which of these two words best describes Arminian beliefs, the Arminian teaching (that God rewards those whom He has foreseen will believe) can certainly be described by either condignity (if justice demands the reward) or congruity (if the reward is fitting due to God's goodness). | | | But Arminius's doctrines (called Arminianism) were clearly the reverse of the Bible's teaching on election. |

| | Second, if we truly believe that the christ of Arminianism is not the Christ of Holy Scripture and that Arminians are not Christians, then we must be separate from them. | | | Arminians believe that an unregenerate sinner is not totally dead in sins. | | | Arminians believe in decisional regeneration; the Holy Spirit waits and pleads impotently for the sinner to make a decision and only when the sinner decides to follow Jesus does the work of regeneration happen in the sinner's heart. |

| | The Question, "What Is an Arminian?" Answered by John Wesley |
| | An Arian is one who denies the Godhead of Christ; we scarce need say, the supreme, eternal Godhead; because there can be no God but the supreme, eternal God, unless we will make two Gods, a great God and a little one. | | | And being more and more convinced that they were wrong, when he was vested with the Professorship, he publicly taught what he believed the truth, till, in the year 1609, he died in peace. | | | But there is an undeniable difference between the Calvinists and Arminians, with regard to the three other questions. |

| | Baptized Arminianism |
| | Arminians historically believe that man is depraved but not so totally depraved that he cannot "choose Christ" when given the opportunity; that Christ died for all men in order to make salvation "available"; that election is based on God's knowing beforehand who would and would not believe; and so forth. | | | Many of its disciples have never considered that it may be possible to be both evangelistic and Calvinistic, but that is another matter. | | | I'm not referring here to Calvinism as an entire system of doctrine in life, as it truly is, but only to the soteriological (or saving) doctrines of Calvinism. |

| | Is Calvinism or Arminianism Biblical? |
| | Therefore the Arminian concludes that the word "eternal" does not mean "everlasting." This plainly violates the normal and correct meaning of the word "eternal." Something that is eternal continues forever uninterrupted. | | | Both the Calvinists and the Arminians have taken extreme positions and neither has proved its system to be biblical and the correct explanation of the doctrines of election. | | | Arminius said he thought the Scriptures were unclear and the Bible seemed to teach believers could lose their salvation. |

| | Arminianism |
| | The English Arminians reacted against the Calvinistic tendencies of the Elizabethan Church of England by asserting a belief in free grace rather than predestination, and by maintaining that the sacraments, rather than preaching, were central to worship. | | | One of the most accesible references to this political trend in Arminianism is Williston Walker's A History of the Christian Church, 4th Edition, Scribners, 1985, p. | | | Although Wesley never followed the thought of Arminius to the letter in this regard, the general trend was definitely present in Methodism-- except where the state was overtly "Established Church" and was unfavourable to Methodists, as in some of the colonies! |

| | A Biblical Critique of Chuck Smith's Calvinism Study |
| | This growth in the teachings of Arminianism is not a sign of discovered truth, but rather a sign of its popularity among men, men who want a salvation plan that gives them some element of control over their eternal destiny, control that God has not granted them. | | | In 1618, a National Synod of the Church was convened in Dort to examine the teachings or Arminius in the light of Scripture. | | | Most people who take the side of Arminianism, do so because they do not understand the sovereignty of God and they do not understand all the Bible has to say about man's total depravity and God's elective plan of salvation. |
