'''Arminianism''' is a school of [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Christian]] theology developed by [[Jacobus Arminius]]. Its influence is found throughout many Protestant denominations such as [[Methodist|Methodism]] and most [[Baptist]] Churches, as well as [[Pentecostalism]].
Arminian theology is often described as being on the opposite end of the Protestant spectrum from [[Calvinism]]. Unlike Calvinism, which holds that [[God]] predestines some people to be [[saved]] through God's grace and individuals cannot make the decision to come to [[Christ]] of their own free will, Arminianism holds that salvation is a matter of personally choosing to accept Christ and that salvation is available to anyone who makes that choice of their own free will. Also, unlike Calvinists and [[Baptist]]s, Arminianism teaches that a believer can lose their [[salvation]] if they fall away from the faith or consciously reject Christ. Debate exists among Arminians about whether salvation, once lost, can be regained. Much of this debate centers around the meaning of [[Book of Hebrews|Hebrews]] 6:4-6 in the [[Bible]].
