ARMINIANISM
BIBLIST (BAPTIST)
1/ The Bible clearly presents in the
strongest language both the sovereignty of
God and the responsibility of man.

BIBLIST (BAPTIST)
2/ We do not possess all the facts about
anything (1 Cor 8:2). God has indeed told
us everything he wants us to know, but
certainly not everything he knows (1 Cor
13:9, 12; Rom 11:33-36)

BIBLIST (BAPTIST)
3/ God cannot do anything which is either
unfair or unreasonable (Heb 6:18). We
must therefore interpret anything God does
by what he is (Gen 18:25; Deut 32:4; Mk
7:35-37; Ecc 12:10-13)
