That any man could reject the saving work of grace on his heart and resist the Spirit by his own free will. 4) That the Holy Spirit’s work in regeneration could be resisted. 3) That Christ died for all men universally, making the possibility of salvation open to all if they would have faith.

His teachings consisted in a summary of 5 points which bore direct witness against the last 1500 years of orthodox teaching, and completely against Biblical truth. Though he vowed to uphold the university’s teachings following the Belgic Confession, he secretly, and maliciously, passed out papers to his students that opposed the Bible’s teaching on the will, election, reprobation, predestination, providence and other doctrines. James Arminius, which is his Latin derivation, (Jacobus Harmenzoon is his name in Dutch) began conscientiously teaching his unorthodox doctrine in the Universities of Europe during the late 1590’s. Satan tempted Eve with the words, “You shall be like God…” Arminianism is simply this old lie redressed in new clothes. This heresy began in the garden of Eden under the subtle guise of Satan’s ploy to destroy the proper relationship between God and man. The most prevalent and destructive heresy of the church today is Arminianism. Short tracts to give out to your wayward friends who may be entrenched in bad doctrine.
