With regard to perfectionism, Arminius said in his Declaration of Sentiments that he “never actually stated that a believer could perfectly keep the precepts of Christ in this life.” Nor did he deny it. He left it as an open question, contenting himself with the sentiments of Augustine. In short, Arminius believed that, through grace, perfection was a logical possibility but that an individual who had attained it had never yet been found! (Gunter, Declaration of Sentiments , Kindle locations 3313–3314 ; cf. Arminius, Works , 1 : 677–678 ).
