I just watched a video on Doug Wilson trying to understand why there is so much controversy with him and what exactly Federal Vision is, the brief explanation of his view on Christians who fall away, left me confused on how this is any different than what Arminians believe on this issue.
I understand that he differs with the Arminian on how we are saved but the issue was on how we remain saved. While I disagree with what I heard, and believe that our salvation is not dependant on our "covenant faithfulness", I didn't see how this is considered heresy anymore than the Arminians view.
Can someone help me understand what exactly is the difference with Doug Wilsons view and the Arminian's? I have also seen so many differing views on him over the years that I've basically just avoided him. Some say he is great while others say he should be avoided, but if this is the main issue people have with him I don't see why he ought to be considered a heretic.
I appreciate any light shed on the matter.
