After the dark....breakfast. (And sometimes 2nd breakfast.:>)
Yep, we're pretty light-hearted about these things that don't matter to one's salvation. As Romans 10 says, "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
That's what counts.
I wouldn't consider for a moment that there's any wisdom at all in dying for my pre-trib rapture leanings. It's not essential for salvation.
The wise one was Arminius. In some things, we see through a glass darkly. Therefore, your rendering of history is a little bit of a chronological contortion. We've gone through this before, but Arminius was ALWAYS a child of the Reformation.
The misguided ones were those who'd take a man's life over such things.

You don't think that lying doesn't matter to one's salvation. And we Calvinists get accused of Antimonionism. Oh, well. Got doesn't really mean it; it doesn't really matter; he winks at sin; all that matters is that one say they love him and feel all warm and gushy inside about it; obedience really doesn't matter.
"Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I say."
"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Arminius was ALWAYS a child of the Reformation.
Yeah, and Jim Jones was an upstanding Arminian.
