What is more, unlike Arminians, we agree with strong Calvinists that all the elect will persevere with God’s help. Those who do not persevere were professors of salvation but are not true possessors of it, just as John indicated (1 John 2:19). Finally, we agree that the basis of eternal security is the unconditional promise of God. Unlike Arminians, who make salvation a conditional promise and, hence, dependent on human actions, we believe that salvation is an unconditional gift (Rom. 11:29).
