Both Calvinists and Arminians agree that the Bible teaches total inability. How they differ is on the nature of grace needed to overcome that spiritual deadness. For the Calvinist, the grace is sovereignly given only to the elect and ensures they will come to faith. For the Arminian, it is a prevenient grace given to all people and can be resisted. Yet...SBC Provisionists deny total inablity and assert that the only grace needed is the mere presentation of the gospel which in and of itself is sufficient to enable a positive response. Is this semi-Pelagianism? We need to be very careful how we label or mischaracterize those with whom we disagree. Dr. Sean Cole gives quotes from Arminian scholars to show how they agree with Calviniists on this issue. He also attempts to explain the SBC Provisionist view of man's sinfulness.
