Wikipedia

  1. Arminian

    Arminianism is a branch of Protestantism initiated in the early 16th century, based on the theological ideas of the Dutch Reformed theologian Jacobus Arminius and his historic supporters known as Remonstrants. Dutch Arminianism was originally articulated in the Remonstrance (1610), a theological statement submitted to the States General of the Netherlands. This expressed an attempt to moderate the doctrines of Calvinism related to its interpretation of predestination. Classical Arminianism, to which Arminius is the main contributor, and Wesleyan Arminianism, to which John Wesley is the main contributor, are the two main schools of thought. Central Arminian beliefs are that God's preparing grace to regeneration is universal, and that God's justifying grace bringing regeneration is resistible. Many Christian denominations have been influenced by Arminian views, notably the Baptists in 17th century, the Methodists in the 18th century, and the Pentecostals in the 20th century.
