The more I've looked at Dordt, the more parallels & agreement I see between Dordt's view of reprobation, and Arminians' view of the saved.

Is it just me seeing the parallels in argument, or is that parallel ... real? Anyone know if there's historicity to them?

Some parallel thoughts (from Dordt's side):
  • People are condemned for what they do -- and God's ordination is to condemn people for what they will do.
  • God ordains this condemnation, so He is aware it will happen -- but He will condemn people based on what they will do.
  • People naturally make the decision to condemnation without any need for God's "generation" of that decision within them.
