So....JIGSII is now a self-identified Classical Arminian...hehehehe check it out here: JIGS II Blog

Now, what is Arminianism? To quote Dr. C. Matthew MacMahon:

Arminianism is not something hidden under a stone, but lives in full view, and in direct opposition, to the Gospel. It is a deceiving doctrine of demons wrought up from the pit of hell, where, in the consummation of the age, it will be cast for all eternity with the devil that spawned it and the false teachers who propagated it.

Now, that's a bit exaggerated hehehehe. While I do disagree with Arminians on certain points in Soteriology, I do believe that they are indeed Christian and I think the quote above is lacking in brotherly love. No wonder Calvinists are always thought of as negative...tsk tsk tsk... Continuously check out my blog and JIGS II's blog as I'm sure many subsequent posts will revolve around our contention on the issue of the extent to which God is Sovereign over one's salvation.
