The United States Furnishes The First Example In History Of A Government Deliberately Depriving Itself Of All Legislative Control Of Religion.

Calvinism Emphasizes Divine Sovereignty And Free Grace; Arminianism Emphasizes Human Responsibility. The One Restricts The Saving Grace To The Elect; The Other Extends It To All Men On The Condition Of Faith. Both Are Right In What They Assert; Both Are Wrong In What They Deny. If One Important Truth Is Pressed To The Exclusion Of Another Truth Of Equal Importance, It Becomes An Error, And Loses Its Hold Upon The Conscience. The Bible Gives Us A Theology Which Is More Human Than Calvinism And More Divine Than Arminianism, And More Christian Than Either Of Them.
