If you answered yes to 5 or more of these questions, or 10 points over all then you my friend are probably an Arminian. But fear not, this is curable. One can leave heresy. There are many people who have left the dark, man centered ways of Semi/Pelagianism and have found fulfillment in a Reformed church. Remember, ignorance can be corrected.
