Blasphemous RUBBISH
I love how Pink poetically illustrates ARMINIANISM:
He says, it is "a religion of conditions, contingencies and uncertainties" and "is not Christianity" but "the daughter of Rome. It is that God-dishonouring, Scripture-repudiating, soul-destroying system of Popery whose father is the devil which prates about human merit, creature ability, works of supererogation and a lot more blasphemous rubbish, and leaves its blinded dupes in the fogs and bogs of uncertainty."
I agree with Pink when he goes on to state "Christianity deals with certainties which originated in the purpose and love of an unchanging God, who when He begins a good work, ALWAYS COMPLETES IT."
I DO NOT SERVE AN OPEN-THEISTIC GOD!
I serve a God that is truly sovereign (including in the way of salvation) and I am thankful for any ray of illumination granted me from the "lamp of God's Word"... for I can be quite dull sometimes... slow, but, by the grace of God... teachable.

It is Arminianism, not Armenianism. The former is a religious school of thought, the latter is a nationality.
Pink is not a good Christian author. He was a fanatic. He ended up his life not even going to church because no church was good enough for him.
You don't have to be an open theist or an Arminian to see that God is asking for men to turn to Him, that he has done everything to save us, but we must believe to appropraite that salvation. This is the biblical teaching, not the "Doctrines of Grace" ... which really aren't very gracious if you think about it, unless you are one of its "chosen few".
God is doing more than asking us to turn to Him, He is commanding it. Those who do not repent and submit their lives to Him are in open rebellion against God, rather than simply making a bad choice.
Well said SheShe!
Anonymous... God asking? Is that like Mr. Rogers neighborhood-type asking, as though an all-powerful God need ask anything?
And why are you hiding behind "anonymous"?
Arminianism speaks of a God who enables men to save themselves... Calvinism proclaims a God who saves. It is the enabling Spirit of God that draws us to the point of asking. We are too depraved and stupid and unable to get ourselves to that point. I find much rest in knowing that God did not leave my salvation up to me for I would have chosen to wallow in muck and mire (and so would you)... for flesh in itself is sadly content with that.
http://www.challies.com/archives/001109.php will give you an idea of how unscriptural open theism is. It is a man concocted, man-centered system that is blasphemous... and that puts it quite mildly.
Well said, sinner.
4GIVEN,
Great article. I really appreciate your heart for God.
I am truly glad tha salvation is of God, and not me.
Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Blankenship. I had to reject some of the comments made on this article. People can get quite nasty when truth is revealed without compromise.
