After your cursory read, go back and do a little checking on his explitic disagreement with the Reformed university at which he was employed, the Dutch Reformed church, and the Belgic Confession.

He may have been an admirer of Calvin's work, but he disagreed sharply with some main theological points of Calvinism.

Sounds like the more fitting description from what I recall of sparse reading.

He says he's in agreement with the Belgic and with many others that existed in his era.

The Synod of Dort which came after Arminius' death decided they didn't like him, but the calvinists kept him in a pulpit and a university professorship til the day of his death.

Yes, but he still must be viewed as being in the Reformed tradition.
