Arminian v Calvinist

by Matthew

Calvinist: You see what it says here? Look at Romans

Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Arminian: Yes, that is true. But it also says here:

But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

and shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Calvinist: But we can't apply that to regenerate persons. It says here:

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Arminian: No? What about Hebrews 10:26-27:

¶ For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

etc etc etc etc etc etc.
