    John 15:1–17 reads in the Douay–Rheims Bible: [15] I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.

    Jacobus Arminius (1560–1609) arrived at the same conclusion in his own readings of the early church fathers.

    Regarding John the Baptist's call to "repent" as a translation of the Greek metanoeite, Robertson quotes Broadus as saying that this is "the worst translation in the New Testament".

    Arminians often highlight a tension in this view between present faith in Jesus and faith in a past event, [102] namely, election. [85] They argue that such faith in a past event is given equal significance in ensuring final salvation as present faith in Jesus. [103] Arminians contend that genuine faith should be unique and focused solely on ...
