I did react to that statement that surely Arminian/Pelagian ideas are alive and that a document like the Canons of Dordt still has its place. However, I could not produce real examples from our churches but find it hard to believe that heresies of old were simply confined to specific times.

Perhaps those reading this forum have some real 21st century examples of Arminianism in the church at large. I am looking for real examples.
Johan,

I suppose on a technical level, real ... genuine historic Arminianism would be difficult to find today, although I have to believe that there must be some individual churches which adhere to it. However, what you will find in the majority of Evangelical churches today is semi-Pelagianism, which is a step below Arminianism. So, pick a church... any church outside which is not Reformed (externally) and that's basically what you will find. Now, it should be mentioned that just because a church is a member of a Reformed (Continental or Presbyterian) is certainly no guarantee that it doesn't teach/preach/practice semi-Pelagianism, Arminianism or some other heresy. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
