moral necessity

"Arminius (1560-1609) was a Reformed pastor in Amsterdam and later professor of theology at the University of Leyden. His disagreement with some of the central tenets of Calvinism led to a great controversy in the Netherlands which continued long after his death. His ideas became the foundation of a system of thought now known as Arminianism, which continues today in conservative Wesleyan and Methodist churches, and in many other protestant groups..." - Grudem's Systematic Theology; Appendix 4; p.1224.
I was not expecting to read this. Do you think this is how we ought to describe the man when others ask us about him? Do other Reformed writers describe Mr. Arminius as Reformed too, or is this the exception?
Another question: If Luther isn't considered Reformed, how is Arminius?
Thanks and Blessings!
