What is the relationship between Arminianism and predestination in Christian theology?
Arminianism and predestination are two theological concepts that are often seen as opposing each other in Christian theology. Arminianism, named after the Dutch theologian Jacobus Arminius, emphasizes free will and the belief that individuals have the ability to choose or reject salvation. On the other hand, predestination is the belief that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be condemned. In Arminianism, individuals have the freedom to accept or reject God's offer of salvation, while predestination suggests that God has already chosen who will be saved. These two concepts have been the subject of much debate and disagreement within Christian theology, with different denominations and theologians holding varying views on the relationship between them.

What is the opposite of predestination?
This is not a simple question as there are various types of predestination. The direct opposite of Calvinistic predestination (the main theory) is Arminianism. The difference put simply is "Arminians believe that they owe their election to their faith, whereas Calvinists believe that they owe their faith to their election." However, as you can see Arminianism still requires election and so is still a form of predestination. The true opposite of the theory of election is simply free will. Each human being is given choice over his destination!

What does arminianism mean?
Arminianism is an off-shoot of Calvinism started by Jacobus Arminius and popularized by John Wesley among others. Arminians hold, just like Calvinists that humans are corrupted by and slaves to sin, but that at Christ's death God's prevenient grace liberated everyone from that slavery and restored our free will to either accept or reject Christ. Therefore your salvation is based on the choice to accept or reject Christ. Many Godly, bible believing Christians have held to and still hold to this theology today. The two major problems with Arminianism is that biblical evidence for prevenient grace is sparse at best, and that historical Arminians have believed that one can loose their salvation which goes against the clear teaching of scripture. Many Arminians today, however, do believe that once someone is saved, they cannot loose their salvation.
