:It is important to note that [[Arminianism]] is not the same as Catholicism regarding free will and the forgiveness of sins. The difference between Arminianism and Catholicism on the possibility of repentance during life is that Arminius says that after any of the elect have fallen away some cannot repent, that it becomes impossible, by the decree of God, while they live, as punishment (Hebrews 6:4-6; Romans 9:18); but Catholicism says that all are capable of repentance and that none is excluded from the grace of God's persistent call to repentance while they live, that God never withdraws his grace of the enabling power to repent, and that only those who resist his grace to death are doomed (James 5:19-20; 1 Peter 2:25; 1 John 1:9-10; 5:14-17).
