I do not believe in OSAS or that women can have authority over men in the local church. Leadership is given to men in the home and church.

I leavewith a quote from Jacob Arminius proving he WAS NOT OSAS:

Arminius wrote:
That those persons who have been grafted into Christ by true faith, and have thus been made partakers of his life-giving Spirit, possess sufficient powers [or strength] to fight against Satan, sin, the world and their own flesh, and to gain the victory over these enemies — yet not without the assistance of the grace of the same Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ also by his Spirit assists them in all their temptations, and affords them the ready aid of his hand; and, provided they stand prepared for the battle, implore his help, and be not wanting to themselves, Christ preserves them from falling. So that it is not possible for them, by any of the cunning craftiness or power of Satan, to be either seduced or dragged out of the hands of Christ. But I think it is useful and will be quite necessary in our first convention, [or Synod] to institute a diligent inquiry from the Scriptures, whether it is not possible for some individuals through negligence to desert the commencement of their existence in Christ, to cleave again to the present evil world, to decline from the sound doctrine which was once delivered to them, to lose a good conscience, and to cause Divine grace to be ineffectual. Though I here openly and ingenuously affirm, I never taught that a true believer can, either totally or finally fall away from the faith, and perish; yet I will not conceal, that there are passages of scripture which seem to me to wear this aspect; and those answers to them which I have been permitted to see, are not of such a kind as to approve themselves on all points to my understanding. On the other hand, certain passages are produced for the contrary doctrine [of unconditional perseverance] which are worthy of much consideration.
And he also said
“That true and saving faith may be, totally and finally, lost, I should not at once dare to say: though many of the [early church] fathers frequently seem to affirm this.”
And so it is clear that Arminius WAS NOT OSAS. He was not sure, and hesitant to say a believer would finally fall away, but admitted he COULD fall away.


In his debate with Perkins, he finds all the arguments and appeals from Scripture to support OSAS as presented by Perkins to be unconvincing.



Lastly, Arminius held that Election was conditional. That very fact does not lend itself to unconditional security. Salvation is conditioned upon faith, and Arminius knew well the Scriptures that said some shall FALL AWAY from the faith-1Tim 4, cast off their first faith and follow Satan-1Tim 5, and make their faith shipwrecked and overthrown1Tim 1.



Arminius immediate followers concluded from Scripture what Arminius acknowledged but refused to fully affirm--that believers could fall away and be lost. Arminius died before such studies and proceedings were completed.
