Welcome Peter! Although I have been seriously absent. I have a very busy life, plus I also write at another blog, which also suffers due to my personal schedule. Lastly I also manager another Ning site that has up to a 1000 members.

But glad to have you here.

Hi Forrest,
I will do my best to answer this question, as far as myself being an Arminian, well I'm not sure. I know I tend more toward the view of Jacobus Arminius than that of Modern Calvinism.

What is Arminianism? this comes from http://www.bible-researcher.com/arminianism.html
"
ARMINIANISM is a teaching regarding salvation associated with the Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius (1560-1609). The fundamental principle in Arminianism is the rejection of predestination, and a corresponding affirmation of the freedom of the human will. Shortly after his death, the followers of Arminius (later called Arminians) presented a statement to the governing authorities of Holland in which they set forth five articles of doctrine. These were: (1) that the divine decree of predestination is conditional, not absolute; (2) that the Atonement is in intention universal; (3) that man cannot of himself exercise a saving faith, but requires God's help to attain this faith; (4) that though the grace of God is a necessary condition of human effort it does not act irresistibly in man; (5) that believers are able to resist sin but are not beyond the possibility of falling from grace. In essence, the Arminians maintained that God gives indispensable help in salvation, but that ultimately it is the free will of man which decides the issue."

Is it from the country Armenia?
No
Does it have anything to do with the Aramaic language? No
Is it a Heresy as some claim? Not in my opinion

I do not hold wholly to the Arminian position, but I tend to lean Arminian in my soteriology.

I am planning on teaching on the Doctrine of Salvation next semester at our Bible Institute, and I do plan on using TTP study guide. However, I plan to write some supplemental material so that I can teach it from an Arminian perspective, and present Calvinism as the alternative.

If there are any others that hold to this view it would be great to know just in case I have questions. And if you have outlines or already wrote some material and you are willing to share please feel free to offer.
