The mixing of Calvin and Arminius

“Think like a Calvinist, live like an Arminian“

When I first heard this statement from a homiletics professor of mine in seminary, it made complete sense. Have your cognitive faculties aligned with that of John Calvin and function as someone living under the teachings of Jacobus Arminius. I’ve heard the above statement many times in my life in college bible studies, from pastors, from church members, etc. I was always a bit uncomfortable with this statement, and I don’t think I’ve ever used it in a sermon or bible study.
