On his website, Arminian Perspectives, Ben Henshaw has a questions page at which he answers questions about Arminianism and Calvinism that visitors to his site pose in the comment section of the page. Here is a question from a man named Lance followed by Ben’s answer:
Question: I have a question about prevenient grace – who does God give this grace to: is it equally given to all people, or just some? And if so, how does God determine who receives it?
Answer:
I think God’s enabling grace works in different ways in accordance with different situations. The Bible isn’t clear on the exact mechanics. It doesn’t break down to a simplified equation. I do believe that God graciously works in all people to bring them to faith in Christ. However, even for those who may not get the opportunity to hear the gospel, God will hold them accountable for how they responded to the grace they did receive. Still, I suspect that as people respond favorably to God’s gracious working, God will eventually lead them to a place where they can hear and accept the gospel. The actual specific enabling to believe the gospel would be specific to the time of hearing the gospel where the power of the word and the conviction of the Holy Spirit would make it possible for a depraved sinner to believe unto salvation.
Near the beginning of this thread are some questions about prevenient grace along with some answers from me that you may find helpful. That discussion starts here:
