Romans 9 verse 18; John 6 verse 44; John 6 verse 65; John 6 verse 37; John 6 verse63; Titus 3 verse5 ~ God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. He saved us because of His mercy, through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

I see very few actually saying they are Arminian, but they have no trouble throwing pejoratives around to labeling people what they are not, as they repeatedly try to smash a square peg into a round hole all while refusing to deal with a plethora of Scriptures that throw over their pet fantasy of free will... a multiplicity of verses from beginning to end of Scriptures that they brush aside, ignore, contradict, and outright deny in preference for their man made tradition and false doctrine. And yes, you are right, some also claim Adam's sin had no bearing on humanity, and they love their knee jerk reactions to the word depravity so they can continue pretending that Arminianism, Molinsim, Calvinism, etc, all teach man's inability = depravity. But, in their theology, the person who is a slave to sin and lover of darkness, who can neither receive nor comprehend the spiritual things of God, just decides of their own volition to believe that which they hear as foolishness, in spite of the fact that their stony heart is not good ground for bringing forth the fruit of faith, and Jesus said a bad tree cannot bring forth good fruit. Oh, well, they care not, they seem to shrug and say, meh, the natural man is not such a bad guy, you have it all wrong, only ancient Israelites were bad guys. Yes, a good look around the world today we can see how good mankind is.... NOT.

2 Corinthians 4 verses 3-4 ~ 2 Corinthians 4 verse 4 ~ Even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God.
