I have encountered few 'real classic arminians" in their theology do far...
Your problem is that you have reduced the Gospel so far as to make it a non-Gospel so that myriads will give an assent to what is left and thus they are declared to be saved. Secondly, your gospel, which is no Gospel, is void of experimentalism because the law is noticeably absent as is the doctrine of original sin and the total depravity of man. Thus no Spirit-wrought conviction of sin is possible nor man's innate guiltiness before God exists. "Easy Believism" aptly describes this heresy.

Again, you insist WITHOUT A SHRED OF BIBLICAL SUPPORT, that the thrice Holy God uses lies, deceit, and falsehood in a "Madison Avenue" sales pitch to save sinners. I challenge you to bring forth ONE example from Scripture; the sole and final authority in all matters of faith and practice, where a false Gospel was sanctioned by Christ or the Apostles and where sinners were saved through this false gospel which you claim hordes of people are saved in your experience!!

I agree that there are few 'real classic Arminians" to be found. Things are much worse as the overwhelming majority of churches now espouse semi-Pelagianism.
