Pride sits as the core of the Arminian gospel. Pride is the desire to understand God, his ways, his purposes, and his desires in spite of what scripture reveals. Whatever we comprehend we have power over. This is what their false gospel seeks: power over the almighty.
"I will send a deceiving influence." Does God lie? Does he deceive? No. He sends judgment. He removes the possibility of repentance. How fits this into "free will"? It does not. God judges now and he judges before all creation. He determines or fate because he is God. This arbitrary consignment to one side of eternity or that other baffles us. He is not comprehended by us. Would you remove scripture? Would you say it does not mean what it clearly declares? Feel free, but do not claim to minister the gospel of Christ.
