Can We Agree that Neither Calvinism/Arminianism is outright heresy?

It's gonna be awfully lonely in here.

@Yeshua1 , is it too late to add a poll?

A. I believe Arminianism is heresy.

B. I believe Calvinism is heresy.

C. I believe both Arminianism and Calvinism are heresies.

D. I do not believe that either Arminianism or Calvinism are heresies.

 

I think Yeshua 1 is asking if either of these doctrines in heresy in the sense that belief in one or other would lead to damnation.

The answer is no. One is not required to be a theologian to be saved. To see oneself as a lost sinner and to turn from one's sins to trust in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation is what is required.

I have defended my understanding of Scripture robustly on this forum, but I try never to use the H word. In fact, the only real difference between the preaching of a Calvinist and an Arminian is that the latter will tell people that Christ died for them, and the former will tell them that Christ died for such as them. Please note that I am not speaking of Semi-Pelagians or Hyper-Calvinists; they are a different matter.

The great crowd of Revelation 7 becomes neither bigger nor smaller whether one is an Arminian or a Calvinist. The crowd is so vast that no man can count it, so it's best not to try.
