Bible Note: Tim: Sounds about as classically Arminian as you can get! Phil Johnson of Grace to You (John MacArthur's ministry) casts Arminianism in almost exactly the same terms that you do, but he defines my view as "sublapsarianism," making it synonymous with infralapsarianism. I would encourage everyone on the forum to read an article by him to see where they stand on this whole issue. Even though he seems to share my position, he is very fair in categorizing the different views.

Silly studybibleforum.com won't let us type it in our text: http://www.gty.org/[TILDE]phil/articles/sup_infr.htm Thanks again for making me think! --Joe! |
