This is an excellent and technical discussion on Molinism. To be clear, SEA does not take an official stance on Molinism. There are some members who believe it to be incompatible with Arminianism. There are…
J. C. Thibodaux, “The Cancer in Calvinism”
From the outset I want to make it clear that I’m not asserting that Calvinism is heresy, as I consider most Calvinists to be genuine brothers and sisters. This post is rather about a serious…

A Thanksgiving Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer

Martin Glynn, “Response to ‘Got Questions: Limited Atonement- Is It Biblical'”
Part II
In the last post I was looking at an article on Limited Atonement. There I talked about how the issue of Limited vs. Unlimited Atonement has less to do with the nature of the atonement…
Video: “Why Do Most Christians Resist Calvinism?”
Soteriology 101 is a traditionalist, rather than Arminian, organization. They produce excellent material regarding Calvinism, and this video is no exception to that. It does an excellent job of countering certain arguments against free-will theism…
Martin Glynn, “Response to ‘Got Questions: Limited Atonement- Is It Biblical'”
Part I
An article was recently shared with me that had convinced an Arminian to become a Calvinist. It describes the doctrine of Limited Atonement. For those who are curious about my thoughts on the matter, I…
Kevin RK Davis, “What if Arminianism IS the Middle Ground?”
MANY CHRISTIANS TACKLE THE SOTERIOLOGICAL DEBATE I do not find myself as an island, having gone through a journey of soteriology. I’ve investigated and read up on the dominating Protestant theories on the matter. The…

The Bible Project, “Destined for Glory; An Interview with Dr. Haley Goranson Jacob”

Jay Richards, “A Short Argument Against the Materialist Account of the Mind”
This is an excellent article showing scientific support for the mind and the freedom of the will. A Short Argument Against the Materialist Account of the Mind
Science Uprising: A Scientific Defense of the Human Mind and Will
At SEA, we promote Arminianism. Arminianism is first and foremost a soteriology: an explanation on how salvation works according to the Bible. But for any who are familiar with the Arminianism/Calvinism debate, the conversation has…
Kevin RK David, “Does God Need Ultimate Control to be Ultimately Sovereign?”
DO CALVINISTS HAVE THE CORNERSTONE ON SOVEREIGNTY? If you’ve read any of my blog posts for any amount of time, you’ve probably come to a very obvious conclusion: I like theology. I like church history….
Kevin RK Davis, “How Can Faith Be A Gift?”
A HAIR’S BREADTH It has been mentioned elsewhere on this blog, predominantly some of the stationary pages on the menu up top – that Arminianism and Calvinism aren’t opposing theologies. If this is news, read…
Kevin R.K. Davis, “Powerful Grace”
GRACE: GOD WILL GET HIS WAY In my dips in Calvinism, the word “grace” for me became a much more active, powerful force in the Kingdom of God. If it was inevitable, going to do…
Dr. Roger Olson, “For Fellow Arminians and Quasi-Arminians (Non-Calvinists): Prevenient Grace”
I recently had a very interesting discussion with a non-Calvinist Baptist theologian and denominational leader. He interviewed me for his podcast about soteriology. (I believe his “show” is called “Soteriology 101.”) I enjoyed the hour…
Michael Brown, “Reflecting on the Death of a Progressive Christian”
It is easy for us to get caught up in theological debates. Sometimes we need to take a step back, and simply pray for our opponents, and love them. Dr. Michael Brown’s comments here are…
Mike Winger, “Why I Think Calvinism Is Unbiblical”
Though this video is half a year old, I only recently stumbled upon it. Pastor Mike Winger has some excellent videos on apologetics in general, and this is his video on Calvinism in particular. It…
