Arminianism is related toВ CalvinismВ historically. The two systems of Calvinism and Arminianism share both history and many doctrines, and theВ history of Christian theology. Historically, theВ Council of Orange (529)В condemned semi-Pelagian thought (as well asВ SupralapsarianВ Calvinism), and is accepted by some as a document which can be understood as teaching a doctrine betweenВ AugustinianВ thought and semi-Pelagian thought, relegating Arminianism to the orthodoxy of the early Church fathers. But classical Arminianism holds that the first step of Salvation is solely the grace of God. Some schools of thought, notablyВ semi-Pelagianism-which teaches that the first step of Salvation is by human will -are confused as being Arminian in nature.

Wesleyan Arminianism is often identical with Methodism. Classical Arminianism, to which Arminius is the main contributor, andВ Wesleyan Arminianism, to which John Wesley is the main contributor, are the two main schools of thought. The original beliefs of Jacobus Arminius himself are commonly defined as Arminianism, but more broadly, the term may embrace the teachings ofВ Simon Episcopius, ,В Hugo Grotius,В John Wesley, and others. Denominations such as the Anabaptists (beginning in 1525), Waldensians (pre-Reformation), В and other groups prior to the Reformation have also affirmed that each person may choose the contingent response of either resisting GodвЂ™s grace or yielding to it. Some assert that Universalists and Unitarians in the 18th and 19th centuries were theologically linked with Arminianism. Many Christian denominations have been influenced by Arminian views on the will of man being freed by Grace prior to regeneration, notably theВ BaptistsВ in the 17th century, the Methodists in the 18th century and the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the 19th century. Those who signed this remonstrance and others who supported its theology have since been known asВ Remonstrants.вЂќ McCall, вЂњare consistent with the views of Arminius indeed, some come verbatim from his Declaration of Sentiments. Believers are able to resist sin through Grace, and Christ will keep them from falling but whether they are beyond the possibility of ultimately forsaking God or вЂњbecoming devoid of grace вЂ¦ must be more particularly determined from the Scriptures.вЂќ.TheВ (Christian) GraceВ вЂњof God is the beginning, continuance, and accomplishment of any goodвЂќ, yet man may resist the Holy Spirit and.

вЂњThat man has not saving grace of himself, nor of the energy of his free willвЂќ, and unaided by theВ Holy Spirit, no person is able to respond to GodвЂ™s will.TheВ AtonementВ is qualitatively adequate for all men, вЂњyet that no one actually enjoys this forgiveness of sins, except the believer вЂ¦вЂќ and thus is limited to only those who trust in Christ.Salvation (and condemnation on the day of judgment) was conditioned by the graciously enabled faith (or unbelief) of man.TheВ Synod of DortВ (1618вЂ“19) was called by the States General to consider theВ Five Articles of Remonstrance.
