Of course, had you posted these last two posts
together it would be clearly presented that Arminius still believes one must cooperate with and accept the grace of God (that is, the efficacy of the grace which God gives to man in order to save him is by no means assured) in order to be saved. Arminius believes it
enables faith, Calvin believes it
inspires faith.
You can re-frame it all you want, x. Arminius was no Calvinist, and neither are you.

Actually, I was a bit more interested in demonstrating that Arminius never would have supported having a practicing homosexual be a representative of his church.
Other than that, he was a Calvinist professor at a Calvinist University.
I have long described myself as a calvinist in the tradition of Arminius.

Interesting how Arminians will cloak themselves in Calvin when they are trying to be taken seriously.
