To: Dr. Eckleburg; Corin Stormhands
Corin, three years on this forum have clearly shown to me and anyone who's reading these posts that Arminians, past and present, historical and contemporary, believe salvation is a joint effort, a partnership of wills between God and man.Open the door, beloved, and He will come into your souls. He has long been knocking, and all with this object, that He may sup with you, and you with Him. He sups with you because you find the house or the heart, and you with Him because He brings the provision. He could not sup with you if it were not in your heart, you finding the house; nor could you sup with Him, for you have a bare cupboard, if He did not bring provision with Him. Fling wide, then, the portals of your soul. C.H. Spurgeon

Yes, Rev., we could not sup with Him "if it were not in our heart." And it is God who changes the heart and regenerates the fallen sinner.
And yes, "our cupboards are bare." We are sustained only by what He gives us.
Listen with a discerning ear, Rev.
