No longer can conservative, "Bible-believing" evangelicals smugly hurl insults at mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics for doctrinal treason.

Zing! There you have it.

Imagine the audacity of Pelagius and his ilk – actually trying to inject rational thought into religion. The two realms are mutually exclusive. Religion is man’s attempt to explain the irrational.

".....This is the pattern: God provides the sacrifice, and judges those who offer their own sacrifices to appease God. God comes down to dwell with us, we do not climb up to him; God finds us, we do not find him...."

This is something to think about.

Thanks for this article which is very informative. Pelagianism, let alone Semi-Pelagianism, was never much of an issue in Eastern Christianity, perhaps because we have a rather non-Augustinian view of the Fall and its consequences. Consequently, I never quite understood what all the fuss was about among Protestants here on FR. The article you linked, however, especially in the parts where it speaks to more modern manifestations of the heresy, leads me to understand what this has all been about. It is indeed heretical and I can see how the fruits of that heresy have manifested themselves in Western Christianity and by extension, society.

Didn't I read someplace that Michael Horton teaches a false gospel?

This is a great article. Thank you for posting it. I believe it was RC Sproul who referred to the "Pelagian captivity of the church" (in parallel to the Babylonian captivity of Israel) as a description of the present state of evangelicalism. I would have to say I agree with him on that point because I encounter Christians all of the time who do not believe man is really so corrupt as to need the Grace of God to believe.

Again, thank you for posting this. I do like to read articles from Horton.
