CRONOS: they say that Arminianism (preached by Methodists, Pentecostals etc.) "is a damnable heresy" showing that they consider Pentecostals, Methodists etc. as "preaching a satanic gospel"

Oh, not unlike the Catholics, who say everybody who is not Catholic is doomed to an eternity in Hell?

No Protestant damns to hell any other Christian. Period. In fact, unlike Roman Catholics and their anathemas, we don't damn to hell anyone because we know that God's hand may touch anyone at any moment, just like it touched us.

All we can judge are a man's fruits. That's why we hold out hope for Roman Catholics that while their fruit is so often evil, God may still bring any of them out of the darkness and into the light of Christ alone.

What Cronos is using as "evidence" is one man's opinion written as an opinion piece using sarcasm and hyperbole to make a point.

Cronos has not given us any reason to believe he even knows what "Arminianism" is, repeatedly having used it as a separate denomination.

Dr E, an OPCer: No Protestant damns to hell any other Christian

The OrthodoxPresbyterianC: Is Arminianism a damnable heresy? Yes.

hmmm....

So, as an OPCer, do you believe that
Arminianism is indeed a heresy,....
Are Arminian preachers heretics?
Is Arminianism a damnable heresy?.
Arminianism is the school of thought of the Methodists and Pentecostals and Baptists among others.

You can find more of it here: http://classicalarminianism.blogspot.com/2009/11/favorite-calvinistic-proof-texts-acts.html

You can see the errors of Calvinistic pre-destination by reading Acts:
“44The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him. 46And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. 47 For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, “’I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” 48And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.”
The Gentiles believed, and were appointed for eternal life - , this is Acts 13, and Acts 10 & 11 discusses the opening of the kingdom to the Gospel.



This hurts the Calvinist OPCers who want to control so much that they post articles like this where they say that Methodists etc. preach a satanic gospel
