In this episode, we present a special audio adaptation of a theological classic: “The Meaning of Christian Security”, written in 1939 by David Shelby Corlett. A respected theologian, editor, and educator in the Church of the Nazarene, Dr. Corlett was known for his clarity, depth, and passionate commitment to scriptural holiness and sanctification. This work is a rich and thoughtful exploration of what it truly means to be secure in Christ—not as a passive guarantee, but as a dynamic, ongoing relationship rooted in faith, obedience, and divine grace. Drawing deeply from Scripture and the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition, Corlett offers a vision of salvation that is both hopeful and profoundly responsible. The essay is organized into five chapters, each unpacking a vital dimension of Christian security: Security: A Divine Provision What Is Eternal Life? Security: A Vital Relationship Security Through Co-operation Its Scope Whether you're a pastor, a student of theology, or simply someone longing to walk more closely with Christ, this timeless message offers clarity, encouragement, and challenge.   This document was accessed from the Wesley Center Online.  The Wesley Center Online is a collection of historical and scholarly resources about the Wesleyan Tradition, theology, Christianity, and the Nazarene church hosted by the Wesley Center for Applied Theology at Northwest Nazarene University. We are thankful for the work of Richard Thompson in overseeing this repository.   To read the manuscript, click here To find more Holiness Classics, click here   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning   *this episode was created with the help of AI*  

In this episode of "The 167 Podcast," Lead Pastor Shannon Patterson and Media Pastor Joshua Harrell delve into one of the most profound theological questions: Has God already decided who will follow Him, or do we have a say in the matter? Do we choose God, or does He choose us? Does He preselect those who will spend eternity in heaven or hell? Join us as we explore these questions from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective, emphasizing free will and God's grace. We'll delve into the concept of Prevenient Grace—the grace that goes before us, inviting us onto the porch of faith. Justifying Grace welcomes us through the door, and Sanctifying Grace transforms us within. Discover how Wesleyan-Arminians view human depravity, our inherent inability to do good or repent without divine aid, and the role of Prevenient Grace in drawing us to God. We'll discuss the biblical basis for these beliefs and how they shape our understanding of salvation. Tune in to gain deeper insights into the interplay between divine grace and human free will.

Keep asking questions and we'll keep working to provide answers!

This is the first full length episode of Remonstrance Podcast! On this episode we discuss the five Arminian articles of the Remonstrance of 1610. While journeying through the articles we talk about Wesleyan-Arminian soteriology, Pelagianism, Semi-Pelagianism, and perseverance of the saints.

On today's episode, you'll hear Carl Bangs discuss the hymns of Charles Wesley. Carl Bangs was a professor of historical theology at Olivet Nazarene College and at St. Paul School of Theology. He served as president of the American Theological Society and the American Society of Church History. His work, Arminius - A Study in the Dutch Reformation, is a seminal contribution to Dutch church history and Wesleyan Arminian studies. Bangs graduated from pasadena College and Nazarene Theological Seminary and received a PHD from the University of Chicago.

In this interview, Dr. Matt Ayars and Dr. Eve Tibbs discuss the similarities and differences between Eastern Orthodox and Wesleyan-Arminian traditions.

This month, we will be releasing a teaching I did last year based on John Wesley’s sermon “On Divine Providence” in two parts. There is a link to Wesley's sermon below. The teaching was done only a few weeks into the COVID-19 Pandemic and recorded at Wesley Chapel, the church where I serve as Lead Pastor. It focuses on how the doctrine of providence gives us hope and confidence even in times of uncertainty because the doctrine reveals that God is ultimately in control. If you are interested in listening to expository preaching from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective then check out the Wesley Chapel podcast.  Links: On Divine Providence by John Wesley Wesley Chapel Podcast

In March Remonstrance turns five! The first “minisode” of Remonstrance dropped on March 3, 2016, and we have been working to promote Wesleyan-Arminian Reformation ever since. A lot has changed in the last five years. Ben and I planted a church in Shelton, Connecticut, and we have both become fathers. Remonstrance has teamed up with the Fundamental Wesleyan Society and I graduated from Wesley Seminary. The theological podcast landscape has also changed significantly since 2016, although Calvinist voices still dominate. All of these factors have prompted the necessity to revamp Remonstrance beginning the week of our fifth birthday. The first week of March 2021. Remonstrance is not going anywhere but we will be changing our programming. Moving forward, the podcast will consist of five types of episode formats: Interviews: There will be a lot of interviews with Wesleyan and Arminian scholars, historians, seminary professors, and theologians on the show. Stay tuned for some interesting interviews! Some of them will be returning from past episodes and others will be new to the podcast.  Book and Article Reflections: I will be dropping minisodes or even full episodes where I reflect on theology books I am reading or I have read. I will also interact with and respond to current theology articles relative to Wesleyan-Arminianism. Historical Episodes: I will be dropping some episodes (or minisodes) where I will explore significant historical events from the history of the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition.  Doctrinal Dialogues: True to our “pre-revamp” selves Ben and I will discuss topics together related to Wesleyan-Arminian theology or practice. Debates: Remonstrance will also be hosting debates from within the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition. These will not be your classic “Calvinist vs. Arminian” debates (yawn) but rather “in-house” debates only!  Essentially, each month will be something different. Remonstrance will remain committed to delivering fresh and theologically substantial content every month. We will also continue our partnerships with the Society of Evangelical Arminians and the Fundamental Wesleyan Society.  I hope you will join Remonstrance Podcast for the next five years of Wesleyan-Arminian Reformation. I am looking forward to seeing what God will do.  Soli Deo Gloria.  -Vin @ Remonstrance

In Episode 80 of this podcast, Evan Minton gave a syllogistic argument that God loves all people and that Jesus died for all people called "The Maximally Great Argument Against Calvinism". The argument was philosophical in nature, and yet each of the premises could be backed by scripture as well. However, there are also explicit passages in scripture that state that Jesus died for all. So one can go the roundabout way through Perfect Being Theology or just read The Bible. In this episode, Mr. Minton makes the biblical case for unlimited atonement; the view that Jesus died to atone for the sins of all people. The atonement is unlimited provisionally and limited in application. This is contrary to what Calvinists teach; that Jesus only died for the sins of the elect (i.e individuals God chose to unconditionally elect from eternity past). He examines many coherence objections Calvinists make such as that Arminian soteriology makes God a failure, that unlimited atonement entails universalism, and he takes on The Double Jeopardy Argument. He also takes head on passages Calvinists try to use to positively prove that Jesus only died for the sins of the elect. Listen to this episode and you will see that The Bible is not on the Calvinist's side when it comes to the extent of the atonement.

In this ETW episode, Captain Dr. Jon Gainey teaches about the doctrine of justification, which is included in the ordo salutis of Wesleyan-Arminian soteriology.

Every episode has been for us a gift of great conversation with deep spiritual leaders in the Wesleyan/Arminian tradition, and we end the season with the best of the best — Jack Deere. Author of “Surprised by the Power of the Spirit” and the revised and recently released “Why I Am Still Surprised by the Spirit,” Jack shares his own journey from a successful ministry in a cessationist tribe — a theological stream that assumes the supernatural phased out with the apostles — to being someone who could say that healing ought to be a significant part of a church's ministry. He shares about his ministry partnership with John Wimber, the relationship between miracles and suffering, and what it might look like to go after the power of God and the work of the Holy Spirit. If you want to be inspired toward more love and more power in ministry, this episode is for you. Links:Why I Am Still Surprised by the Power of the Spirit

In this episode, Captain Jon Gainey explains the differences between the Calvinist and Wesleyan-Arminian order of salvation.  Bibliography: Classic Christianity: A Systematic Theology, Thomas Oden Roger Olson, "An Arminian Ordo Salutis (Order of Salvation)" online @ https://www.patheos.com/blogs/rogereolson/2013/08/an-arminian-ordo-salutis-order-of-salvation/ https://carm.org/what-is-the-ordo-salutis

In this episode we are joined again by David Martinez to discuss a Wesleyan understanding of suffering and theodicy. First, we will discuss what theodicy means and then talk about why it is important to have a theodicy to answer questions about suffering. We will then contrast the Calvinist explanation of suffering with the Wesleyan-Arminian explanation. Make sure you don't miss the second part of the conversation.  Links: Fundamental Wesleyan Publishers Bookstore  An Interview with Author Joseph D. McPherson  

In this episode we will continue discussing the very important (and controversial) topic of falling away or Christian apostasy. This time we will briefly discuss the views of John Wesley primarily using Thomas C. Oden's book "John Wesley's Teaching Volume 2: Christ and Salvation." We then talk about the similarities between the views of Wesley and Arminius. Next we discuss how both "once saved always saved" and "once saved barely saved" are dangerous extremes and neither are biblical. We will then briefly discuss some of the small differences between Arminius and Wesley which primarily have to do with language and emphasis. Finally, we wanted to let you all know about some great Wesleyan-Arminian theology books available through the Fundamental Wesleyan Society. If you are interested follow the link below.  FWP Bookstore John Wesley's Teachings by Thomas C. Oden

In this episode we will begin to discuss the very important doctrine of Prevenient Grace. This doctrine separates Wesleyan-Arminian theology from all forms of Pelagianism and Reformed theology. We will begin by defining Prevenient Grace with help from Thomas Oden. Then we will discuss an article by Andrew Dragos from Seedbed. We will talk about the benefits of Prevenient Grace as described by Wesley (via. Kenneth J. Collins) and find scriptural support for them. Then we will discuss the differences between the Wesleyan-Arminian Doctrine of Prevenient Grace and the Reformed Doctrine of Common Grace. What is the difference? Which one is better news for the sinner? We will then discuss whether Prevenient Grace or Irresistible Grace is more similar to our personal testimonies. We will continue this conversation in our next episode so stay tuned.  Links: What is Prevenient Grace by Andrew Dragos  Buy This! The Transforming Power of Grace by Thomas C. Oden 

This is Part 2 of our discussion on the Wesleyan-Arminian View of Salvation.

Do we have a measure of free-will restored to choose Christ or are we predestined for salvation beyond our control? Does God desire all to be saved or only a few? Do these questions have anything to do with our daily Christian lives? Check out this episode as Chris and Evan answer these questions and explore what the Wesleyan-Arminian view of salvation is all about!

In this episode we have the opportunity to sit down with Dr. William Sillings who is the General Superintendent of the International Fellowship of Bible Churches (IFBC). Both Vin and Ben are ordained Elders (pastors) in the IFBC and the church plant they serve is an IFBC church. In this interview Dr. Sillings shares briefly about the history of the IFBC along with what makes it unique among denominations in the broader Wesleyan-Arminian movement. One way is that the IFBC holds to a "classical" Wesleyan theology unlike other groups. Dr. Sillings also discusses how the IFBC emphasizes the inerrancy, authority, sufficiency, and inspiration of Scripture. He also discusses how the IFBC strongly encourages contextualization to local ministry contexts while simultaneously holding strongly to Wesleyan orthodoxy. If you are a pastor who is looking for church affiliation or ordination in a group with a solid Wesleyan-Arminian theology we strongly recommend you look into the IFBC.  IFBC Website   

In this episode we will prepare to discuss Wesley's Covenant Theology by defining Covenant Theology. To do this we will compare Covenant Theology to Dispensationalism by giving a brief introduction to both. This is by no means an exhaustive definition of either so please do not get upset if we leave something out. We will then interact a little with Dr. Vic Reasoner's Article, "An Arminian Covenant Theology." Check out the link below. We will also discuss how Dispensationalism is difficult to reconcile with Wesleyan-Arminian theology because of the possibility of covenants being broken. Stay tuned for next episode when we will dive into Wesley's Covenant Theology.  Article: http://www.fwponline.cc/v18n2/v18n2reasonera.html  

In this episode, we will continue our discussion on Inerrancy with help from an article by Dr. Vic Reasoner. We will start with a recap of Wesley's views and then discuss the current views on Inerrancy throughout the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition. We will then spend time discussing an article by Dr. Vic Reasoner titled, "Do (Wesleyan) Arminians Believe in Inerrancy?" You can find the link to this article below.  Links: "Do (Wesleyan) Arminians Beleive in Inerrancy?" by Dr. Vic Reasoner http://defendinginerrancy.com/wesleyan-arminians-inerrancy/ "The Importance of Inerrancy" by Dr. Vic Reasoner https://www.amazon.com/Importance-Inerrancy-Dr-Vic-Reasoner/dp/0976100398 FWS Podcast https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fws-podcast/id1337469850?mt=2 "Why Inerrancy is Compatible with Evangelical Wesleyanism" by Dr. Vic Reasoner http://www.fwponline.cc/arm_extend/Inerrancy_02.pdf

Calvinist theology holds that everything is pre-ordained by God. Critics say that such a deterministic view makes God morally responsible for evil and means that sinners can’t be blamed for their wrongdoing – after all they were predestined to do it. Guilluame Bignon, a French convert to Christianity who is now a Calvinist philosopher/theologian, seeks to answer these questions in his new book Excusing Sinners and Blaming God: A Calvinist Assessment of Determinism, Moral Responsibility, and Divine Involvement in Evil. He engages W Paul Franks of Tyndale University College, Toronto on the issues, who holds to a Wesleyan/ Arminian view of libertarian freedom.   For Guillaume Bignon’s book: https://www.amazon.com/Excusing-Sinners-Blaming-God-Responsibility/dp/1532618654   For W Paul Franks: http://wpaulfranks.com/    For Unbelievable? the Conference 2018: http://www.premier.org.uk/justask     Get signed copies of Unbelievable? the book and audiobook: www.unbelievablebook.co.uk   Get Unbelievable? the Conference 2017 DVD/CD & Digital Download: http://www.premier.org.uk/shop   For more faith debates visit http://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable Join the conversation: Facebook and Twitter Get the MP3 Podcast of Unbelievable?

This month is the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation! It has been 500 years since Luther posted the 95 Theses which was the first act in the rescue of the Gospel. We are excited to celebrate here on Remonstrance and we think ALL Wesleyan-Arminians should be as well. After talking about why it is important for Wesleyan-Arminians to celebrate Reformation Day we discuss the impact of Luther on the conversion, ministry, and theology of John Wesley. We then move on to discuss the need for reformation within Wesleyan-Arminian theology as we move into the 21st century and what we could learn from the Protestant Reformation when doing so. To do so we will be reading through and discussing an article that Vin wrote. Check out the link below.    Links: Reformation Day Episode https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/remonstrance/e/48095346?autoplay=true Seven Minute Seminary (Kenneth J.

In this episode we will continue discussing the doctrine of sanctification from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective. To do so we will be continuing to working through an article by Chris Bounds specifically about sanctification. There are three major perspectives on sanctification in Wesleyan-Arminian theology: the "shorter" way, the "middle" way, and the "longer" way. in this episode we will focus on the "middle" way and the "longer" way. John Wesley could honestly be read supporting either of these positions. We will contrast Wesley's understanding of sanctification compared to that of Phoebe Palmer with the help of Henry H. Knight, Kenneth J. Collins, and Thomas C. Oden. We will then discuss which views of sanctification we each hold to. Is it the "middle" way? The "longer" way? Or is it a combination of both?  Links: Remonstrance t-shirt store https://www.freewebstore.org/remonstrance-podcast-apparel Chris Bounds Article https://repository.asbury.edu/handle/11415/835    

In this episode we will be discussing the doctrine of sanctification from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective. To do so we will be working through another article by Chris Bounds specifically about sanctification. There are three major perspectives on sanctification in Wesleyan-Arminian theology: the "shorter" way, the "middle" way, and the "longer" way. In this episode we will be focusing on the "shorter" way that was championed by Phoebe Palmer during the 19th Century. We will discuss her ideas and then compare her perspective to the teaching of John Wesley. Hint, they are NOT the same thing. In the next episode we will look at the "middle" and "longer" way so stay tuned.  Links: Remonstrance t-shirt store https://www.freewebstore.org/remonstrance-podcast-apparel Chris Bounds Article (academic article we are using) https://repository.asbury.edu/handle/11415/835 Chris Bounds Article (great article with nice graphics)  https://repository.asbury.edu/handle/11415/838  

In this episode we will be revisiting the topic of Open Theism and specifically focus on how Open Theism differs from Wesleyan-Arminian Theology in regards to the doctrine of foreknowledge. To do this we will be reading through a large number of quotes by Open Theists to see what they have to say in regards to foreknowledge. Then we will jump into what Jacob Arminius and John Wesley had to say about foreknowledge. Hopefully, by the end of the episode, you will see a clear contrast between Open Theists and Wesleyan-Arminian theology in regards to foreknowledge...God already knows that you will. 

In this episode we will be revisiting the topic of Open Theism and specifically focus on how Open Theism differs from Wesleyan-Arminian Theology in regards to Meticulous Providence. We will first illustrate the beliefs of Open Theists by quoting Open Theists. We will then introduce the Wesleyan-Arminian perspective based on a combination of secondary sources and primary sources. Along the way we look into a very interesting exchange that took place between Roger Olson and Thomas Oden over Open Theism. This conversation will continue in our next episode so stay tuned.  Links: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/rogereolson/2017/06/memories-thoughts-thomas-oden/ http://dsntl8idqsx2o.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/03/classical-arminianism-and-open-theism.pdf  

This episode of Remonstrance is devoted to the Doctrine of Regeneration. One major question we will be looking into is whether or not regeneration precedes faith (the Calvinist view) or if faith precedes regeneration (the Wesleyan-Arminian view). We will be reading through sections of articles by the Society of Evangelical Arminians (SEA) and discussing them. Then we will move on and look at what Arminius specifically had to say about regeneration and what Wesley specifically had to say about it as well. One interesting point that Arminius brings up is that Calvin actually taught that faith precedes regeneration as well. We make references to a lot of different articles in this episode so make sure you investigate the links below. Also, join become a member of the SEA and buy Thomas C. Oden's "Classic Christianity." Trust us, you need this systematic theology.

In this episode we will be reading through a portion of John Wesley's sermon "Salvation By Faith" to start getting some insight into Wesley's views on faith. It is clear from this sermon that Wesley did not understand faith as something that people can do independent of the grace of God. Wesley in strong terms emphasizes the divine activity of God in saving sinners. Wesley is clear that faith is a gift of God and that God works faith in men's hearts. In working faith into men's hearts, God (in Wesley's words) shows that He is "mighty to save." Please read or listen to the rest of this sermon by following the links below. Also, don't miss the next full episode of Remonstrance that will be devoted to the Wesleyan-Arminian doctrine of faith and will focus on how faith is a gift of God.  Links: Text Version http://wesley.nnu.edu/john-wesley/the-sermons-of-john-wesley-1872-edition/sermon-1-salvation-by-faith/ YouTube Version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oObNm8ZCiDI  

This minisode is the second in a three podcast series where we will be asking the question, "what is the will of God?" from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective. In this episode we read a selection from Public Disputation IV by Jacob Arminius. We will only focus on Section 2, "On the Will of God." We will read a brief excerpt from the Disputation and then have some brief theological commentary on it. This is not an easy Disputation, but it is really good! Maybe listen through this more than once.  Here is a link to the full Disputation IV if you are interested: http://wesley.nnu.edu/arminianism/the-works-of-james-arminius/volume-1/public-disputations/disputation-4-on-the-nature-of-god/ Scroll down to the Second Section: ON THE WILL OF GOD

This minisode is the first in a three podcast series where we will be asking the question, "what is the will of God?" from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective. In this episode we will read two private disputations of Jacob Arminius. The first is Private Disputation 18, "On The Will of God." The second is Private Disputation 19, "On the Various Distinctions of the Will of God." Each reading will be followed by a brief theological commentary. These disputations are tough so get ready for some serious scholastic theology! For your reference here are links to both Disputations. It might be good to read along: http://wesley.nnu.edu/?id=4787 http://wesley.nnu.edu/?id=4786  

In this minisode we will begin exploring what Arminius taught on the Doctrine of the Atonement. It is clear that Arminius did not hold to the Governmental Theory of the Atonement but to (at least) the Satisfaction Theory instead. This episode will show this from the works of Jacob Arminius "Oration IV." We will also receive theological guidance from Dr. Roger Olson and his excellent book, "Arminian Theology Myths and Realities." Be on the look out for our next full episode that will be entirely devoted to the Wesleyan-Arminian view of the Atonement. Please subscribe!

This is our first full length episode of Remonstrance Podcast! On this episode we discuss the five Arminian articles of the Remonstrance of 1610. While journeying through the articles we talk about Wesleyan-Arminian soteriology, Pelagianism, Semi-Pelagianism, and perseverance of the saints. Please subscribe!

We are Wesleyan-Arminian in our theology. At least, that's what we proclaim. But, what do we really believe about "free will"?
