Christians; can you explain Arminianism ?

There really is no such thing as Arminian theology. Jacob Arminius never wrote a systematic theology, all he did was counter what John Calvin taught. Arminianism teaches man has a free will and can either choose or reject Christ, that you cna lose your salvation, that God loves everyone, and wants everyone to be saved. Calvinism disagrees with all those points.

Arminianism is an opposite to Calvinism. Arminians believe that salvation can be lost (in the sense you can walk away from God.) And we are not pre-ordained to become Christians. Pentecostal churches are usually Arminian.

Arminianism is a school of soteriological thought in Protestant Christian theology founded by the Dutch theologian Jacobus Hermanszoon, who was best known by his Latinized name, Jacobus Arminius.Its acceptance stretches through much of mainstream, evangelical Protestantism.Due to the influence of John Wesley, Arminianism is perhaps most prominent in the Methodist movement.

Arminianism is a reaction to Calvinism.Today, Arminianism is advocated by Wesleyans, Nazarenes and Methodists.

Arminianism is used to define those who affirm the original beliefs of Jacobus Arminius the dutch philosopher

Those who hold to and preach the deviant theological systems known as Arminianism and Pelagianism will not help people find Christ. They deter people from the Christ of the Bible because those who follow such doctrines do become twice sons of hell as those that propagate the doctrines. Sincerity does not necessarily breed truth. Sincere, theologically astute Arminians are more destructive to the church than sincere Buddhists will ever be. It is because the system of doctrine known as Arminianism clothes itself so well that people actually believe the crafty fox is a real live sheep. Satan has so sown the seeds of confusion among such men and such churches that this clever lie continues to breed and grow through the world.

Arminianism recognizes free will in choosing to believe in Christ and enduring in the faith. There are basically four soteriological views- Arminianism, Calvinism, Molinism and Thomism. I am a Molinist.

Yes. It is based upon a theological school of thought developed by Jacob Arminius, which says salvation is by faith alone, and not by works (as scripture says). Taking more concepts from scripture, Arminius said that salvation is dependent on belief in Christ.

He also says that salvation can be lost -- belief must be continuous to receive salvation.

That's a basic summary -- John Wesley (founder of Methodism) also adhered to these concepts.

Arminianism is the belief that man chooses his salvation entirely within free will, that salvation can be lost, and that God will never override that person's choice.

It is partially biblical and partially unbiblical, just like calvinism is partially biblical and partially unbiblical.

We do choose (so does God), but the truth is that it is impossible to lose salvation (1 John 5:13).
