I believe that as an arminian I was not a christian. When I realised what arminianism was as I embraced the doctrines of Grace , the christ I had formerly believed upon - dissappeared from view only to be replaced by The Lord Jesus Christ as revealed in Scripture. This former 'christ' was no christ at all ! It was all in my imagination as i gave 'him' intellectual consent to be ' my savior'.<br><br>I belived in a false gospel (no gospel), and a false christ (no christ). In short, I believed WHAT I WANTED TO BELIEVE , not what I believe today.<br><br>When an arminian talks of God he is not talking about the same God of The Holy Bible. This is my opinion- no dogma. I discussed this yesterday with a friend - a former arminian , who disagrees with me so I know many here will too.<br><br>Suffice to say , there are many false gospels and arminianism is the root of them all.<br><br>howard<br>'
