Reformed theologians are fond of treating Arminius’s theology—Arminianism—as Semi-Pelagian or even Pelagian. That is simply distortion and misrepresentation. Arminius opposed the monergistic teaching of his Dutch colleague Franciscus Gomarus at the University of Leiden and argued that election is not unconditional; predestination refers to God’s foreknowledge of who will freely accept his offer of salvation through Christ.
