I, too, am saddened that many don't consider a believer to be a believer just because he also holds Arminian understandings.

I don't think ALL Arminians are Christian; nor do I think all Calvinists are Christian. The parable of the sower and the parable of the tares both testify to that.

Cry me a river, Xzins.

I have not -- EVER -- accused All Arminians of "not being Believers", for all Corin's bluster on the matter.

I have charged Arminianism (the Belief System, not the Individuals) with being Heresy, back to the beginning, back to the Sadducees -- and, as usual, I can back it up.

But so what? PROTESTANTS are permitted to change their Communions -- I have not personally attacked Corin; I have done nothing of the sort. As a Protestant, he is permitted to CORRECT his Communion, without taking it personally.

If Arminianism is HERETIKOS (which it is; in fact, it actually defines the Term), then Corin can adopt a very simple remedy -- stop endorsing HERETIKOS Arminianism. He's a Protestant. It's allowed.

I have not attacked Corin personally, nor accused him of being an "unbeliever". I have (correctly) identified Arminianism as being HERETIKOS. If that bothers Corin, all he has to do is leave it behind.

He's a Protestant. It's allowed. No need for whining.
