They both have 5 main points each. Both on the opposite sides of one coin. Yet, very differential from eachother.

I vote with Arminianism, because it allows humans the opportunity to enter into a loving relationship with God freely. I believe that a loving relationship requires each party the freedom to accept or reject the relationship.
Calvinism builds on the belief that because God is all-powerful, omniscient, all-knowing, etc., then God must be totally in control of all aspects of our relationship to him, thus making our participation (or lack of) coerced.
To be sure, each of these explanations are simplistic, but reasonably accurate.

I'n not a solid Arminianist, but I'm definitely not Calvinist. I do have a say in my salvation. The scripture says that God desires ALL to be saved. Calvinism rejects that.
