Resistible Grace вЂ“ That this grace of God is the beginning, continuance, and accomplishment of all good, even to the extent that the regenerate man himself, without prevenient or assisting, awakening, following and cooperative grace, can neither think, will, nor do good, nor withstand any temptations to evil so that all good deeds or movements that can be conceived must be ascribed to the grace of God in Christ.

Deprivation вЂ“ That man does not possess saving grace of himself, nor of the energy of his free will, inasmuch as in his state of apostasy and sin he can of and by himself neither think, will, nor do anything that is truly good (such as saving Faith eminently is) but that it is necessary that he be born again of God in Christ, through his Holy Spirit, and renewed in understanding, inclination, and will, and all his faculties, in order that he may rightly understand, think, will, and effect what is truly good, according to the Word of ChristвЂ¦.

Unlimited Atonement вЂ“ That, accordingly, Jesus Christ the Savior of the world, died for all men and for every man, so that he has obtained for them all, by his death on the cross, redemption and the forgiveness of sins yet that no one actually enjoys this forgiveness of sins except the believer, according to the word of the Gospel of John 3:16 and 1 John 3:2вЂ¦.

Conditional Election вЂ“ That God, by an eternal and unchangeable purpose in Jesus Christ his Son before the foundation of the world, has determined that out of the fallen, sinful race of men, to save in Christ, for ChristвЂ™s sake, and through Christ, those who through the grace of the Holy Spirit shall believe on this his son Jesus, and shall persevere in this faith and obedience of faith, through this grace, even to the endвЂ¦.Even in our time, the five points of the Remonstrants still provide an accurate summary of the differences between Calvinistic/Reformed traditions and Arminian Wesleyan traditions. In both England and the early United States, Methodism and a stream of other churches followed what came to be known as Arminian-Wesleyan theology. Somewhere around the mid-1700s the basic positions of Arminius were cleaned up a bit and expanded in England by the renowned brothers, John and Charles Wesley. The result of all this was condemnation of Arminius and the Remonstrants, but the controversy did not stop and it had a liberalizing effect on theology in Europe and England, as well as the American colonies. In a like manner, the intent of the Five Articles of Remonstrance was an invitation by those who followed the teachings of Arminius to those who followed the teachings of Calvin so they could get together in order to discuss their differences. In a similar, but far less dramatic way, just as Luther and Calvin had boldly attempted to bring reform to the Roman Catholic Church, Arminius tried to bring some type of reform to Lutheranism and Calvinism.ДЄfter Arminius died in 1609, some of his followers put together a document which was titled, вЂњThe Five Articles of Remonstrance.вЂќ Martin Luther originally posted his 95 Theses on the church door in Wittenberg on October 31 of 1517, in order to make his objections known to the Roman Catholic Church so the leaders could get together and discuss his objections. Interestingly, it was while attempting to defend the teachings of Calvin against critics that brought Arminius to the point of doubting some of the conclusions Calvin had taught.

During a preaching series through the book of Romans, he started to disagree on several theological issues that were held by Calvin. Arminius finished his studies in 1587 and then moved to Amsterdam where he served as the pastor of a church.
