As a pretext. I believe Arminianism is heresy.
Here's a situation.
Suppose an individual becomes a believer. Realizing that something has happened the young Christian, not knowing any theology, proceeds to join an Arminian church. Since theological study tends not to be a focus of these churches, the individual remains there satisfied with the preaching he hears.
Suppose also that this individual is not either encouraged from others or self motivated to delve into academic Bible study where they might find the truth.
They die shortly later, never discovering the salvation truth yet still trusting in Christ for salvation.
My question. If a person is truly saved, why would not the Holy Spirit direct that person to a church preaching and teaching the truth? Is it that maybe the person wasn't really saved? Should that person have taken the time to study the Scriptures and discover the doctrines of grace? See the dilemna?
I thank the Lord that I was led to an Orthodox Presbyterian Church after my regeneration.
