The following is part of Gerald O. McCulloh's address presented at the Arminius Symposium in Holland, August 1960. He stated that it was his honor to chronicle the influence of the theology of the great Dutch theologian, Jacobus Arminius, noting how the "discussions and disputations which exerted great influence in shaping Protestant Christianity in Holland, England, and America [can] be heard again to warn against doctrinal neglect or errors and to lead to new understandings of Christian truth."¹ McCulloh writes the following.

In the theological education and personal development of a person preparing for the ministry of the church, Arminius' emphases upon God's will in Christ to redeem all men, and that portion of responsibility which rests upon the Christian in the life under grace unto sanctification, are essential in the intellectual and spiritual equipment of the man. . . .

This is the final part of a debate with Paul Manata on determinism.

Many of us here at SEA have a passion to correct the errors about Arminianism that are being pushed by those that care more about being angry about it than actually knowing what it is. It always surprises me how upset Calvinists are that God made us believe something other than Calvinism.

Anyway, this blog post is a wonderful example of such an issue. A certain Calvinist named Greg Elmquist attempted to disprove Arminianism in one of the silliest displays that we have seen. We are showing you this as the kind of attitude that we come across all the time. If you are an Arminian, and have come across this kind before, understand that you are not alone. If you are a Calvinist, please take this as a lesson that arguing against a caricature of someone's beliefs only makes that person laugh at you. If you are going to disagree with us, please take the time to learn what we say.

Am I recommending some comments by staunch Calvinist John Piper? Yes indeed. I disagree vehemently with him about Calvinism and Arminianism, but count him as a brother in Christ, an erudite Christian scholar, and a godly man with many good, biblical things to say. Here I want to direct your attention to some wise words of caution he gave for the Young, Restless, & Reformed that can be applied with little alteration to the Young, Alarmed (Why alarmed? Because of the resurgence of the false doctrine of Calvinism), and Arminian. Here is a Link to Piper's Comments, the essence of which is, beware of pride and intellectualism, and ultimately loving one's theology more than God. The link is to the edited transcript of Piper's comments. At the link, one can also find more links to watch or listen to them.

Philip van Limborch (1633-1712) wrote the first complete Remonstrant Systematic Theology. Though he slighted original sin and had questionable views on total depravity, he still does make some very strong points against Calvinism. Here’s an Engish translation of his work entitled “A Compleat System, or Body of Divinity, both Speculative and Practical”: (link)
