Part I Protheoria: Disparitas — ten points Lutherans still confess against Remonstrants
Therefore even now today the Theologians named from Luther confess: (1) that certain persons are elected from eternity, not because of foreseen faith, but elected in faith, or through faith in Christ; (2) that Election has no impulsive cause in us, but the whole business of salvation hangs upon God; (3) that faith is foreseen in some, yet as from the grace of the Holy Spirit, as God's gift, as to its beginning, progress, and perseverance; (4) that we are dead in sins, and that there are no residual powers in fallen man toward spiritual good, toward the supernatural acts of Conversion; (5) that God's Grace truly precedes every operation of man, and that in him there are no powers toward Conversion except those prevented, excited, and moved by Grace — so that toward the first reception of Grace they have themselves only passively, as Calixtus expressly says;
(6) that that grace is not given except from a decree of giving efficacious Grace for believing; nor does God foresee anything except dependently on Himself as first cause, still less foresee spiritual good in us; (7) that Faith is trust in divine grace, or in the remission of sins, through and on account of Christ, already contradistinguished from works in the business of Justification; and that a subjective certainty of salvation is given; (8) that the Election of certain Persons is eternal and immutable, and so the Elect according to foreknowledge (κατὰ πρόγνωσιν) cannot finally fall away, on the hypothesis of divine Foreknowledge, which is infallible; (9) as to Reprobation, although they want no other than according to foresight of final Impenitence, yet they do not deny that in this way it is eternal — that the distinction of elect from reprobate is eternal, that the cause of this comparative distinction is God's good pleasure, and that Foreknowledge of the reprobate also is infallible; (10) finally that they condemn every Pelagianism and Semi-Pelagianism. So genuine grandsons of Luther appear to have stood far from the aim and mind of the Remonstrants.
Latin
Igitur etiamnum hodie fatentur Theologi qui a Luthero denominantur, 1. Eligi certas personas ab aeterno, non propter praevisam fidem, sed eligi in fide, seu per fidem in Christum. 2. Electionis nullam esse causam impulsivam in nobis, sed totum salutis negotium a Deo suspendi. 3. Praevideri fidem in quibusdam, sed ut ex gratia Spiritus S. ut donum Dei, quoad ejus initium, progressum, perseverantiam. 4. Mortuos nos esse in peccatis, nec ullas esse residuas vires in homine lapso ad bonum spirituale, ad actus supernaturales Conversionis. 5. Gratiam Dei re vera praevenire omnem operationem hominis, nec in hoc ullas esse vires ad Conversionem, nisi a Gratia praeventas, excitatas, & motas; ut ad primam Gratiae acceptionem, se non habeant nisi passive, quod diserte Calixtus. 6. Non dari illam nisi ex decreto, de danda Gratia efficaci ad credendum; nec Deum quicquam praevidere, nisi dependenter a se ut causa prima, minus praevidere bonum spirituale in nobis. 7. Fidem esse fiduciam divinae gratiae, seu remissionis peccatorum, per & propter Christum, contradistinctam jam operibus, in negotio Justificationis; darique salutis subjectivam certitudinem. 8. Electionem certarum Personarum esse aeternam, & immutabilem, adeoque Electos κατὰ πρόγνωσιν finaliter excidere non posse, ex hypothesi divinae Praescientiae, quae sit infallibilis. 9. Quoad Reprobationem, quanquam haud aliam velint, quam secundum praescientiam finalis Impoenitentiae, tamen non negant hoc modo aeternam eam esse; Aeternam adeo discretionem esse electorum a reprobis, hujus discretionis comparativae causam, esse Dei beneplacitum; Praescientiam etiam reproborum esse infallibilem. 10. Denique omnem se damnare Pelagianismum, Semi-Pelagianismum. Ut a scopo & mente Remonstrantium longe abfuisse appareant genuini Lutheri nepotes.
