I came across from the following
quote from The Works of Jacob Arminius, 1:153, presenting one of his
many cogent critiques of the Reformed doctrine of Predestination. Latter-day
Saint soteriology has been called “hyper Arminianism,” which has much truth in
it:
XII
This Predestination is inconsistent with the Nature and Properties of Sin in
two ways: (1.) Because sin is called "disobedience" and
"rebellion," neither of which terms can possibly apply to any person
who by a preceding divine decree is placed under an unavoidable necessity of
sinning. (2.) Because sin is the meritorious cause of damnation. But the
meritorious cause which moves the Divine will to reprobate, is according to
justice; and it induces God, who holds sin in abhorrence, to will reprobation.
Sin, therefore, which is a cause, cannot be placed among the means, by which
God executes the decree or will of reprobation.
