Arminius thought there were good arguments on both sides, and refused to commit.

Isn't indecision the inherent flaw of the free will perspective. If God only reacts after the fact (we must take the first step) and salvation can be lost (we have free will to walk away even after we are saved) nothing is certain. We can't even count on God because God is subject to what we do.

“If God only reacts after the fact (we must take the first step)”

Never said that. God DOES take the first step, and a whole bunch more. It is God who seeks out man, and God who has done the work of salvation. God doesn’t react, he initiates.

“We can’t even count on God because God is subject to what we do.”

We can count on God to do as he says. God being true to himself is NOT making God subject to what we do.
