• Arminian — Belonging to Arminianism, relating to the theological doctrine formulated by Jacobus Arminius; a masculine follower of this Protestant movement. Emerging in the early 17th century as a structural reaction against rigid Calvinism, Arminianism maintains that salvation is offered to all people through God's grace, but depends on the individual's free will, rejecting the idea of absolute predestination.
