    I'm passing along a blog by my favorite Arminian, Roger Olson, who holds that a principle of debate should be "do not impute to others beliefs you regard as logically entailed by their beliefs but that they explicitly deny."

    "There is no logical fallacy in saying that a person's belief logically entails a belief they do not hold. Logical fallacy only appears when it is said that because the person holds belief A he or she must also hold belief B which is explicitly denied."

    A New Name for an Old Fallacy: "Assailment-by-Entailment"
