The first article of the Remonstrance implies that God elects to salvation or reprobation according to His foreknowledge of some supposed human worthiness or unbelief. This is contrary to many Scripture references such as, Romans 3:10-12;* "There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God . . . There is none who does good, no, not one," and, Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."
The fifth article states that believers partake of eternal life and have power to strive against Satan. However, whether they can fall from grace and be lost is a matter "that must be more particularly determined out of Holy Scripture before we can teach it with the full persuasion of our minds." But Jesus said, "And I give unto them (believers) eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand. My Father who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one" (John 10:28-30). Some may say, "But Satan can." No scripture says this, and we say, "Is Satan stronger than God?" Of course not!
May these comments be helpful in your study of those who developed the theological systems, some of which result in such confusion among Bible students today.
