Editing Arminianism (section)

===Divergence with Semi-Pelagianism===
[[Semi-Pelagianism]] holds that faith begins with human will, while its continuation and fulfillment depend on God's grace,{{sfn|Stanglin|McCall|2012|p=160}} giving it the label "human-initiated [[synergism]]".{{sfn|Barrett|2013|loc={{zwnj}}{{zwnj}}|p=xxvii|ps=. "[H]uman-initiated synergism is the view of Semi-Pelagianism".}} In contrast, both Classical and Wesleyan Arminianism affirm that [[prevenient grace]] from God initiates the process of salvation,{{sfn|Schwartz|Bechtold|2015|p=165}}{{sfn|Forlines|2011|pp=20–24}} a view sometimes referred to as "Semi-Augustinian", or "God-initiated synergism".{{sfn|Bounds|2011|pp=39–43}}{{sfn|Barrett|2013|p=xxvii|loc={{zwnj}}{{zwnj}}{{zwnj}}|ps=. "God-initiated synergism is the view of the Semi-Augustinians".}} Following the [[Reformation]], [[Reformed Christianity|Reformed]] theologians often categorized both "human-initiated synergism" and "God-initiated synergism" as "Semi-Pelagianism",{{sfn|Marko|2020|p=772|ps=. "Those who did not think a prevenient grace was necessary for initial human response or that it was resistible came to be called semi-Pelagians by Protestants in the post Reformation period."}} often leading to mistaken belief that Arminianism aligned with Semi-Pelagianism.{{sfn|Stanglin|McCall|2012|p=62}}{{sfn|Olson|2009|p=30-31, 40-43, 79-81}}
