Schaff makes the same point: Arminianism is a liberalizing force (Schaff may have thought that was a good thing --not sure).

IT does seem, historically, as if Arminianism always proceeds liberalism. The PCUSA became creedally arminian (redefining predestination) before it embraced modernism (if memory serves).

But, we need to beware the slippery slope, because the crypto-Catholic could say that Calvinism proceeds Arminianism proceeds Universalism, right?
