If you look within Arminianism you will see two schools one is Classical Arminianism that mainly follows Jacob Arminius. The other school is Wesleyan Arminianism that mainly follows John Wesley. Now both sides love Arminius and Wesley but each side favors one over the other.  But within these two schools there are differences like the Atonement, Christian perfection and Imputation. But for this blog post I'm gonna be focusing on Christian perfection or entire sanctification since many see this as the main dividing line. But I will argue that christian perfection is not the main dividing issue. But first we need to define this doctrine since this great doctrine has been corrupted and goes against what John Wesley originally intended. Definition of Christian Perfection Here is how I would define christian perfection: loving God with all our heart and able not to commit sin. Now the first part every Christian will affirm that we should love God with all our heart. But saying that a Ch...

I want to tell my story about how I became to believe in Christ. My family was not religious at all never read the bible or gone to church. The most I can say is that we prayed before eating that's the most religious my family has been. So far im my life there are four phases I went through they are Childish deism, Atheism, Refined Deism and finally Christianity.    Childish Deism my age 0-12 The reason I say this is childish deism is because from a early age I believed in a non-personal creator God.

And here it was were the first seed of religion were planted since when I read about ancient Greece Plato and Aristotle caught my eye. At this age I didn't read them but they did catch my interest. But at t...

You will hear this from some Calvinist that Arminians believe in a works based salvation that leads straight back to Romanism. Is the Calvinist right and Arminianism goes against the Reformation principle of Sola Fide?      Now let's define what is a works based salvation I would define it as a system that says the works we do merit eternal life alongside faith. But do the best theologians of Arminianism affirm that John Wesley says  "The righteousness of Christ is the whole and sole foundation of all our hope. It is by faith that the Holy Ghost enables us to build upon this foundation. God gives this faith; in that moment we are accepted of God; and yet, not for the sake of that faith, but of what Christ has done and suffered for us. " Arminius echos the same thing "I believe that sinners are accounted righteous solely by the obedience of Christ; and that the righteousness of Christ is the only meritorious cause on account of which God pardons the sins of believers ...
