Steve, do you subscribe to the "Arminianism is the Lie of Eden" school of theology? Or do you feel that Arminianism is consistent with Christianity in general.

A lot of the Calvinists on these threads seem to think that Arminianism is the same lie that the led to the fall of Adam. I cannot see how anyone who would believe that could possibly view any Arminian as a Christian since they are believing the most pernicious lie ever told to man rather than the truth. Thus IMHO if Arminianism is the Lie of Eden then NO Arminian could possibly be saved, must less preach others to salvation with that message.

How do you feel on this subject?

I have answered this before. I have never called Arminianism the lie of Eden, I think it better fits Mormonism.

I was an Arminian Christian who argued against the doctrines of grace until I became convinced that the Bible affirms total depravity, unconditional election, irresistible grace and perseverance. These convictions came prior to doing a PhD in reformation history in a Calvinistic seminary.

Does that answer youe question.
