EE is VERY Arminian. This is one of Kennedy's great ecumenical compromises with the Gospel. Yes, he is PCA, but what does that mean nowadays? There are lots of PCA churches here, including Kennedy's. He has, mind you, ARMINIAN elders in his church. There are over 20 PCA churches here within a 100 miles radius, and they all have followed suit in South Florida as particularly BAD churches if you like Reformed Doctrine, or even mildly hold to the Regulative Principle. We went to a PCA church headed up by Rick Phillips (President of the Alliance for Confessing Evangelicals) for an entire year, to our disgust, and watched his compromise and failure to hold to the Regulative Principle every Sunday. Kennedy has lead the way in dealing with slipping on the slippery slope of "how many people do we need to keep in church to pay for this grand building we have?" Its everywhere here.

As for Way of the Master, Cameron and Comfort are your elevated brand of Arminian - they continually preach that "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for you life," but add in teaching people about the law which condemns them. So they have a bit of the condemning part right, but can't seem to get the Gospel right!
