Arminian : \Ar*min"i*an\, n. (Eccl. Hist.)
One who holds the tenets of Arminius, a Dutch divine (b.
1560, d. 1609).
Note: The Arminian doctrines are: 1. Conditional election and
reprobation, in opposition to absolute predestination.
2. Universal redemption, or that the atonement was made
by Christ for all mankind, though none but believers
can be partakers of the benefit. 3. That man, in order
to exercise true faith, must be regenerated and renewed
by the operation of the Holy Spirit, which is the gift
of God. 4. That man may resist divine grace. 5. That
man may relapse from a state of grace.
