If Calvin is right, that does not give one a license to split or cause division in the Church, and the same applies for Arminias.

And yet, Wesley, caused a division in the church in the middle of a revival because of his hatred for the truth. Off hand, I'm really trying to remember if any Calvinist caused divisions in the Church in the middle of revivals. Perhaps you should preach those words to those who actively seek division.

Looks like he spoke unrepentant lies about a true defender of the faith as well, but we will not go there....

"And yet, Wesley, caused a division in the church ... "

The same applies to him. He is not exempt. If he caused division in the Church then it was wrong. I am not favoring any man, I am trying to point out the destruction that spiritual pride in doctrine can cause in the Church.

"Perhaps you should preach those words to those who actively seek division."

The fact that Calvinists (i.e. followers of Calvin) exists is proof to the fact that it causes division. We have Wesleyan, Lutheran, Calvin, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, and the list goes on. All divisions in the Church. Divisions based on doctrine or on men. The Body of Christ, the Church, is one, not many.

Many of today's Arminians are confused but genuine Christians. But the ones who get the most bent out of shape and accuse the Calvinists of dividing the Body of Christ are the ones who aren't regenerate in the first place.
