Jacob Arminius never published his works (Arminianism) during his life time. You're right in that he was reformed, but his laters followers that published his works were corrected by the synod of dort (reformed) and his works were rejected. During Arminius lifetime he was brought up on charges...

There are only a handful of soterological camps. That is, 40 thousand denominations break down into Universalism, Arianism, Pelagianism (semi) etc. It is far better to follow theological streams than independent churches which are counted denominations etc. A denomination can be labeled...

ROFL Reformed Arminian and you suggest that there needs be an example of your inadequate theology.

As I said, this is a futile effort. Catholicism appeals to the Catholic church as the sole interpreter. While Protestants appeal to Sola Scriptura. Ah, that's it. Reformed is not "Calvinist strictly speaking. Reformed is an umbrella term that covers much more theology than simply Calvinism...

For another thread. What would be the basis of any works burnt up. There should be no question that the works are for reward and not salvation 1 Corinthians 3:15. Enjoy!

You're using words that mean something quite different to others. For example Justification from a Catholic and Protestant perspective are different as is Sanctification. If you're Catholic there's no sense going on in debate as we'll never agree on the meaning of these words. Orthodox...

No problem. I'm comfortable with letting your post stand as is.

I'm comfortable to let your post stand as is. As an outsider reading in I'd think orthodox theology is meaningless. That's what I glean from your response. Thanks for the welcome!

Soli Deo Gloria?

A lot of people read 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 and do not read the entire context, " 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. " This is really what it comes down to. Each theological camp applies different methods and...

Of course they do. But do you really think enduring to the end is based on your works? Lemme rephrase and emphasize, can you attribute and take credit for anything in or throughout the entire process of salvation? I'm going to post what I had on another board. Please excuse the time I didn't...

Of course it has to be. But this is not your own doing. Look, I don't care what you believe. All I am stating is that pure Protestant theology is strictly monergistic and not synergistic.

Of course believers will persevere in the faith to the last day. John 6:44 No man can come to me (T) unless the Father (U) draws them to me (I) then I will raise them up (L) on the last day (P). No, there is a difference between being justified by works and Christian duty. In other words, to...

Only one of said doctrines result in proclaiming soli deo gloria. The other points to themselves and promotes a works based salvation or performance based salvation. If one is pointing to themselves then that is self idolatry. Therefore, the alleged recipient of salvation is placing their faith...

My sincere condolences.

Good stuff, and thanks for answering my question! God bless, William

Just curious, do you believe that salvation of "National Jewish Israel" as a whole will not be for the purpose of restoring Israel to her Old Testament theocratic glory, but rather believing Jews will be saved into and as a vital part of the body of Christ, the Church, the true Israel of God...

Right from the get go Jesus said Judas was from the devil. We should know throughout the Scriptures that one is either for or against, and either a slave to sin or to God. Not to mention believing and actually seeing are two different things. People were actually at a disadvantage because Jesus...

Matthew 5:15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Either the secrecy destroys the discipleship or the discipleship destroys the secrecy. God bless, William
