Calvinism vs Arminianism

[CatoMinor]

My thought tends to fall in line with Arminianism. I can't really say I agree with Calvinism much at all, especially there being an "elect" as opposed to God's grace available to anyone and everyone willing to accept. God desires all to be saved, not a predetermined group I was curious what the thoughts of the others here were.

John Wesley is one of my biggest influences in terms of Christian theology.  Take a guess.

Calvinism (Calvinist)

Out of interest, is that your church's doctrine?

DC and Mung Beans are Presbyterians, so yes, that would be their church's doctrine.

I know that, but I needed some insight simply because given Presbyterianism is the 'state church' of Scotland in circles where it dominates (not that you can say it still does here) I've came across more of a variance within it.

Hasn't Calvinism always been the dominant thought in Scotland since the Reformation? (Among those still religious there.)
