All true religion leads to holiness whether we call it arminism or calvanism. The bible does not use either phrase but rather "true religion that is from above" and the "doctrine that is according to godliness."

one of the most amazing verses of the bible,"the gifts and [b]calling[/b] of God are without repentance.... ahh, i remember when this verse really hit me hard was about 2 years ago while listening to the interview with Mr. Len. but, since then it has amazed me where this verse shows up. Just about every other thread started on this board, esp in regards to spiritual discernment and ministries is attached to this verse. i still dont know i fully grasp this verse, but with honesty i can tell you it has been in my mind day by day now for 2 years.
He confronted Antinomian Calvinists in his day. Here is an exerpt from his book. This is a "Calvinistic Creed" which should make you sick to your stomach. It's hard to believe that there are people that actually believe this kind of stuff. But this is the result of the Calvinistic "Imputed Righteousness" or what Fletcher calls the "mystical" and "imagionary righteousness" which supposedly covers even present and future sins!

I am not sure why you have set yourself up as the champion of Finneyism but I suggest that you are not using these forums in the spirit in which they are intended. They are entitled 'Discussion Forums'... to dump propagandist statements here and then to refuse to discuss them is, in my view, a misuse of SI hospitality.
Jesse's: I think that it would do some good for the Christians of this generation to revive this masterpeice and thoroughly saturate yourself in it.

Wesley and Fletcher were pretty much inseparable in their understanding of justification and sanctification. Here is one of Wesley's classic sermons.[url=http://wesley.nnu.edu/john_wesley/sermons/020.htm]The Lord our Righteousness.[/url]Fletcher's own work on [url=http://wesley.nnu.edu/john_fletcher/An%20Equal%20Check.htm]An Equal Check to Pharisaism and Antinomianism[/url] is also available online.Sometime ago I introduced a theme which may have some links to this in [url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&order=0&topic_id=5112&forum=36&post_id=&refresh=Go]once justified, always justifed?[/url] There may be some comments there that would interest some.
