As strong as the emphasis on free grace is in Wesleyan-Arminianism, it's not so far off.
Either God elects based on His good pleasure alone and not on any good works men have done/might do, or men get themselves elected by their own good efforts and pious intentions.
Faith isn't a good work or pious intention. It is, as you say below, a gift from God.
Salvation is by free and unmerited grace through faith in Christ, and that is not of ourselves. It is a gift from God to whom He will.
Wesley would agree.
Wesley was an excellent preacher and a devout Christian, but he contributed to the eventual erosion of men's understanding of God's sovereignty, instead replacing it with God's passivity and ultimate ineptitude. I prefer George Whitefield.
That is more charitable than some give Wesley credit for around here. I guess I'm not the only one who's mellowed out on the Calv/Arm threads over the years.
lol. I’m not sure I’ve “mellowed.” Perhaps I’ve gotten more patient because I’ve been around here long enough to see quite a few Arminians become Calvinists, by the grace of God alone. 8~)
