I have moved the blog to Word Press. I will be blogging there from now on. They have features which will help prevent dishonest people from posting as sock puppets undetected. They also come highly recommended by some who were one time users of Blogger, so I thought it would be nice for a change. The site has been completely moved except for the side bar links which I need to do manually and might take a while. Any future posts will be made there. I hope to have the next post up regarding Hebrews 10 by the end of this week.
If you link to AP please change the link to the new Word Press address. Here is the link:

Thank you and God Bless.

Fighting For The Angels
"If my understanding of predestination is not correct, then my sin is compounded, since I would be slandering the saints who by opposing my view are fighting for the angels." [RC Sproul, Chosen by God, pg. 14]
The purpose of this blog is to discuss the very important topic of soteriology (study of salvation) within the theological framework of Arminianism. This blog will serve as both an apologetic for Arminian doctrine and a polemic against the teachings of Calvinism. I hope that you will enjoy my posts and any interaction that they may generate. May God Bless you as you seek His truth (Jn. 17:17).

"Besides, even true and living faith in Christ precedes regeneration strictly taken, and consisting of the mortification or death of the old man, and the vivification of the new man, as Calvin has, in the same passage of his Institutes, openly declared, and in a manner which agrees with the Scriptures and the nature of faith. For Christ becomes ours by faith, and we are engrafted into Christ, are made members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones, and, being thus planted with him, we coalesce or are united together, that we may draw from him the vivifying power of the Holy Spirit, by which power the old man is mortified and we rise again into a new life. All these things cohere together with each other in a certain order,and must thus also be considered, if any one be desirous of knowing them not confusedly but distinctly, and of explaining them well to others." [Works Vol.2 pg. 233, Wesleyan Heritage Collection].

I'm sorry to hear about the move.
I think you might find this blog post very interesting. It's about Internet Calvinists.
it's phillipjohnson's blog at phillipjohnson.blogspot.com
and the post is called "quick and dirty calvinism"
http://phillipjohnson.blogspot.com/2005/06/quick-and-dirty-calvinism.html
He is a calvinist himself, but he is upset at alot of what he calls "internet calvinism".
Your move to wordpress is making it very tempting for me to move. But I like blogger.
This is some of what he had to say
"The upsurge of Calvinism on the Internet in the 1990s seems to have spawned a large and unprecedented movement of jejune Calvinists who wear arrogance as if it were the team uniform. That kind of hotshot, shoot-from-the-hip Calvinism is ugly. I don't blame anyone for being appalled by it. I'm worried about those who think it's a good thing.
Obviously those criticisms are mostly generalizations, and they don't necessarily apply to every Calvinist on the Internet. But (and here's the hard part) I'm willing to admit that there have been times when every one of those criticisms could be legitimately applied to something I wrote or posted to a public forum somewhere. I'll especially confess to my shame that I'm too much of a polemicist and not enough of an evangelist."
The rest is at the blog. I thought it was interesting......so I wanted to share it with yinze.

Hey jnorm,
Thanks for the link. I have actually read that before. Wordpress has some nice things about it but if you are satisfied with blogger then I would not move. I think blogger is a little more user friendly. Both providers have some pros and cons.
The main reason I went to wordpress is because of the dishonest use of internet sock puppets on this blog. At wordpress I get a lot more info. about people who comment so it makes it harder for people to be deceptive.
God Bless,
Ben
