Good point, Ted. One of my problems with Arminianism is that it appears God is not in charge. The inmates have taken over the asylum and relegated God's will to the sidelines. That's never the issue with Calvinism. We know who's running things around here. Consequently, I do wonder how my Arminian friends can have confidence in a God so easily pushed around. Then again, maybe my view of Arminianism is incorrect. It wouldn't be the first time!
