Charismatic women pastors

Technically correct; you don't actually know me.

You watch Bugs Bunny? You know the old cartoons were classics. I was watching Snow White & The Stooges the other day ago and Bugs Bunny's voice was in it or the voice actor.

Me and the pastor could not agree on much and so we parted ways. But by her logic the way to do evangelism is to love people, and show Christ to them, but never to preach REPENTENCE FROM SIN She gave me examples of people coming to faith by her methods, and I challenged her view with the doctrine of election, but she did not like to hear this.

Evangelist, reading your bolded section (quoted above) I have a question regarding the role of election as a doctrine for evangelism (your challenge to the lady regarding her methods). Do you teach that faith is a work of God in the will of the one being saved or despite that will?

Most of the Arminians I know believe a person responds to the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. Consistent with that is the belief that man is so depraved that he or she is unable to recognize the need of a Savior without the the conviction that comes only from God.

I'm sure there are Arminians that disagree with that position but I could cite you about 20 sermons of Wesley's that support what I've written above.

Do you separate a "Wesleyan Arminian" from a common walking Arminian from a Non-Calvinist? This confuses me more than the many various Calvinistic groups.

For my own clarity, could you please interpret 1 Corinthians 2:14?

I'm on my phone right now, so copying and pasting scripture and my explanations of them would be tedious. I plan on answering in depth from my computer tomorrow, but for now suffice to say that I in no way see that as an argument against free will, as I am assuming you were intending. I might start a thread or PM you though, as it's technically off topic.

Nope. <grin>. Classical vice wesleyan.

Faith is a work of God as God grants faith. However she did not believe that.

They are different.
