That was a good article.
Interesting enough, I had recently finished a book titled ARMINIUS SPEAKS which is a collection of works by Arminius himself which specifically deal with grace, predestination, etc. In these works, Arminus several times approvingly quotes Prosper of Aquitaine in defending his position particularly regarding the universal offer/extent of grace. In many ways, with his emphasis on the absolute necessity of prevenient grace and his strong words about depravity, he was more Augustinian (albeit of the milder variety) than many of those 'Arminians' who came after him who seem to sound somewhat more semi-Pelagian in their expressions.
At any rate, as an Anglican I can appreciate the milder form of Augustinianism of Prosper and the 'semi-Augustinians' at Orange, as well that of many Lutherans and other moderate reformers.

Dear bro. Jordon: I read your article. I left some remarks, all positive with a couple of questions. Very insightful.
The one question I wanted to ask you that I didn't get to ask in the other site concerned prevenient grace. You said: "Works never precede grace but are a result of prevenient grace given." Are you using the term "prevenient" differently than it is used in Classical and/or Weslyan Arminian thought? Just wondered.
Anyhow Lord bless and thanks for the great writing.
This was an interesting read from Patrick Henry College.
