Roy Ingle, “Lessons Learned from Alexander Campbell”

Roy Ingle, “Arminianism Is Much More Than the Question of Losing Your Salvation”

Roy Ingle, “Why I Love Being an Arminian”
The name “Arminian” means many things to many people. To the world, the term “Arminian” means absolutely nothing. In fact, I have an Arminian shirt that I wear that reads, “Arminian by Choice” on the front…
Roy Ingle, “Books Every Arminian Needs For Christmas (And Every Other Time)”
This post is from 2009, and so the author might update this list of books if he were to write it up today. But it is still certainly worth reading over: If I could put…
Roy Ingle, “The Key To Being Secure: In Christ”
One of the problems that I have with the teaching on eternal security or the perseverance of the saints is that it seems that the teaching wants to remove Jesus from the equation. It seems…
Roy Ingle, “Arminian or Non-Calvinist?”
There are many who are not Calvinists and yet when they examine the teachings of Arminius they come to the conclusion that they are not Arminians as well. Am I such a person? I think…
Roy Ingle, “Evangelism in the Arminian Context”

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and…
Roy Ingle, “A Couple of Movie Reviews”
[Editor’s note: This post originally came out in 2009, so it is not about new or new-ish movies. Nevertheless, the movies are still available to watch, and so there is value in hearing the author’s…
Roy Ingle, “What Unites and Divides Arminians from Open Theists”
Many Calvinists make the claim that Arminianism and Open Theism are essentially one and the same or at best Open Theism is the logical conclusion of the Arminian view of free will. I have read…
Roy Ingle, “Four Things For Assurance of our Salvation”
Often those who believe and defend the doctrine of eternal security or perseverance of the saints contend that to not embrace such a teaching will not just affect the nature of justification (by grace through…
Roy Ingle, “Don’t Lose Your Passion In Hating Sin”
So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your…
Roy Ingle, “Disciples Only”
And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians. – Acts 11:26 By far the most popular term today to describe people who claim to follow Jesus Christ is the word “Christian.” The term has…
Roy Ingle, “The Historical Demise of Arminianism”
[Editor’s Note: This post is from 2009, when Calvinism was resurging. The Calvinist resurgence seems to have leveled off and even begun to decline in recent years while Arminianism seems to have gained ground again.…
Roy Ingle, “Reformation Day Should Spark Evangelism”
What is a way to honour Reformation Day when on this day, October 31, 1517, Martin Luther, a Roman Catholic monk, nailed his 95 Thesis to the church door at Wittenberg? For most Protestant churches, they simply…
Roy Ingle, “The Issue of Regeneration”
