Sorry for the mis-understanding. I agree completely, the only reason I said anything is because I have heard several Arminians say things to the same effect, but mean something entirely different.
A Calvinist, an Arminian and a Christian Scientist were all involved in a car crash and died in the accident. When they looked around they saw flames and realized they were in hell. The Calvinist said, "I must have never had it." The Arminian said, "I had it but I lost it." and the Christian Scientist said, "It's not even hot here."
