====Forgivability of apostasy====
Arminius maintained that if the apostasy came from "malicious" sin, it was forgivable.{{sfn|Gann|2014}}{{sfn|Stanglin|McCall|2012|p=174}} If it came from "rejection," it was not.{{sfn|Stanglin|2007|p=139}} Following Arminius, the Remonstrants believed that, though possible, apostasy was not in general irremediable.<ref>{{harvnb|De Jong|1968|pp=220 ''ff.''|loc=ch. 5.5}}: "Nevertheless, we do not believe that true believers, though they may sometimes fall into grave sins which are vexing to their consciences, immediately fall out of every hope of repentance; but we acknowledge that it can happen that God, according to the multitude of His mercies, may recall them through His grace to repentance; in fact, we believe that this happens not infrequently, although we cannot be persuaded that this will certainly and indubitably happen."</ref> However, other classical Arminians, including the [[Free Will Baptist]]s, have taught that apostasy is irremediable.{{sfn|Picirilli|2002|pp=204 ''ff''}}{{sfn|Pinson|2002|p=159}}
