Thanks for your comment. Arminians hold we are enabled to respond by the prevenient work of the Holy Spirit. Ie: just like men dead in sin can respond to the Spirit’s common grace.

By believing the word of truth, as in Ephesians 1:13. Because the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes… as Paul tells us in Romans.
It’s not a common word nowadays, so it can end up being a distraction or confusing to people who aren’t used to older writings (especially when the author has a name like “Pope”). In this case, I don’t think it changes the meaning of the sentence, so the risk is greater than the reward.
Wesley, Calvin, Luther, Joseph Smith, Ellen G Whte, Mohammad. Protestant or Islam, they are all variations of the same thing. A reaction to and distortion of God’s one and only truth he revealed through one true church in 33AD. He didn’t wait until the 7th, 16th or 19th centuries to do it.
Claiming that Protestantism, which holds the Gospel and all essential truths of the early church, is the same as Islam is slanderous and rejects even the Roman Catholic Church’s statements on the matter in the Second Vatican Council.

@@Knight-of-the-ImmaculataThat is unbelievably false. First, councils never “gave” us the Trinity or the Bible, but simply acknowledged the truth that existed prior to the council. In the case of the canon, there wasn’t even a council that gave a list of the canon of Trent in the 1500s. Even then, Protestants have historically accepted the early church councils on the Trinity and the nature of Christ. Secondly, it is highly destructive to act as though the scripture isn’t clear on the core doctrines. “Without the councils, no one would arrive at the Trinity” undercuts the clear teaching of the scripture and ignores what the Patristic church fathers teach, which is that scripture IS clear on this and a variety of other doctrines. Finally, Islam is another religion entirely which rejects Christ and the gospel. Even your own council (The Second Vatican) recognizes Protestants as true Christians.

just want to say, love your thumbnails.
Thank you so much for your videos! God bless you.
As George Whitfield said to Wesley. Men have changed your mind but God has changed your heart. Ex Arminian Calvinist.
How does a dead man respond to the gospel? Those who were dead in sin God made alive together with Christ and seated him in the heavenly places.

Thank you, this is very helpful and rich in references to follow up.
Why do you omit the word "catholic" in your readings?

@thearminians I appreciate the thought process. Thank you.
Is this your voice or AI? I wonder, if it is yours, why do you pronounce the word, Wesleyan, in a strange way?
No, that's my voice. I'm Canadian, so probably a Canadian accent you're catching.
