410 years ago on this date, October
19, 1609, the founder of Arminianism, Jacobus Arminius, died at his house at
the Pieterskerkhof. He was buried in the Pieterskerk at Leiden, where a memorial stone
on his behalf was placed in 1934. As a
former Arminian who now is a Calvinist, I will present articles and a sermon on
why I disagree with Arminianism.

| Proponents of
Arminianism teach contra-causal free will, and that salvation is a condition of
foreseen faith or disbelief, and an atonement theory that made salvation merely
possible—but not actual for anyone. This is why Arminianism is a false gospel.
Sadly, there are a lot of cowardly Calvinists that will not excoriate the cheap
grace, semi-pelagian lies of Arminianism. Take some time to review some excerpts from the Canons of Dort, to see how Arminianism should be denounced: - For they “deceive” the simple and plainly “contradict Holy Scripture…” - For this is an “invention of the human mind,” “devised apart from the Scriptures,” which “distorts the teaching” concerning election and breaks up this golden chain of salvation… - For by this “pernicious error” the good pleasure of God and the merit of Christ are robbed of their effectiveness and people are drawn away, by “unprofitable inquiries…” - For this “smacks of Pelagius,” and it clearly calls into question the words of the apostle… - By this “gross error” they make God changeable, destroy the comfort of the godly concerning the steadfastness of their election, and “contradict the Holy Scriptures…” - This is a “novel idea” and an “error and has the effect of elevating the power of free choice…” Sonny Hernandez Director, Reforming America Ministries [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/ReformingAmericaMinistries/photos/a.837933669576547.1073741828.837928802910367/1451870208182887/?type=3&theater] |

5 points of Arminianism
|
3 - What’s the Problem with Arminianism, and Who Are the
Arminians Anyway? (Jones)
Published on Jan 24, 2018
I
will give a brief history of the Remonstrants, but will focus in on a couple of
key areas in their theology, such as their controversial doctrine of
justification by faith. Most assume the Arminians were basically (in)famous for
their free will doctrine, but I want to show how one error leads to several.
That said, I will also discuss how Arminians are still Christians and how
salvation is found by believing in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. I will
also highlight the evolution of Arminianism over the centuries, what it can
look like today, and the potential pastoral difficulties one has in dealing
with modern-day Arminian thought.

Jacobus Arminius
(October 10, 1560 – October 19, 1609), the Latinized name of Jakob Hermanszoon,
was a Dutch
theologian from the Protestant Reformation period whose views
became the basis of Arminianism and the Dutch Remonstrant
movement. He served from 1603 as professor in theology at the University of Leiden and wrote many books and
treatises on theology.
Following
his death, his challenge to the Reformed standard, the Belgic
Confession, provoked ample discussion at the Synod
of Dort, which crafted the five points of Calvinism in response to
Arminius's teaching.

that Arminianism came from the Church of Rome, and leads back again to the pit
