ARMINIANISM  In the statements of the Arminians man is always first and God always comes trailing behind to assist man by His grace to get to heaven.  1. Man’s believing is the cause of his justification.  2. Our obeying Christ is the cause of Him giving us eternal life and that our obedience to Christ is the cause of Him becoming the author of eternal salvation to us.  3. God the Son, they tell us “hath redeemed us only on the condition of our concurrence and compliance.”

To the editor of the Standard Bearer.  Dear Sir,  In the Standard Bearer of Nov. 15, 1973 there appeared an article written by brother Mark Hoeksema under the heading, “Two wise men and a fool. ” In this little story, brother Hoeksema illustrates the foolishness of the Jamaicans. He writes about the foolishness of their way of driving their automobiles, also on the general economic situation, and about Jamaica’s political instability all of which is a result of their foolishness.
