Of course Jesus died for Arminians. He died for everybody!

Coming this a bit late, but this is a nice post. It is a tad ironic when “gospel-centered” people, who have discovered grace, start to get judgmental about non-gospel-centered churches. Believe me, I know the temptation personally! But Jesus died for Arminians and anthropocentric Christians too–and for those who like to be judgmental toward those who are not “gospel-centered.”

Excellent post, thank you. I recently was confronted with another twist to the term “gospel”. A brother (who has of late been seriously influenced by the teachings of Bill Johnson) was suggesting in a partially veiled way that the “gospel of the Kingdom” was separate from the “important, but not as important” gospel of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I contended for the truth and against his notion by pointing to 1 Corinthians 15, and standing on the truth that there is only one gospel, and the Kingdom being the rule and reign of Christ, but I fear he has already been seduced by the falsehood that teaches that the “greater works” of the Kingdom are God’s sole intention now to be displayed here upon the earth. The teaching’s objective is to see Heaven invade earth, and the teaching’s goal is a faith quest for miracles, signs and wonders, even to the point of denying God’s sovereignty. It is divided theology and begs for Biblical integrity, but many are following this with a vehemence. Galatians 1:8-9!
