Arminianism -Christ died for all
It is true that no man seeks or would accept God. God therefore sovereignly chose to provide to all men sufficient ENABLING GRACE so that all men may freely accept or freely reject Gods call to salvation without any merit on their part.
Resistible grace - Arminianism
Man’s preservation is not dependent upon man’s perseverance but upon Gods sovereign grace.
conditional preservation - Arminianism
