"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."}} However, other classical Arminians as the [[Free Will Baptist]]s have taught that apostasy is irremediable.{{sfn|Picirilli|2002|pp=204-}}{{sfn|Pinson|2002|p=159}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
