Finney was an out-and-out, unabashed Pelagian and said so, a position the church formally declared heresy. He felt man saved himself and the post-modern church you see today can be traced back to much of Finney's work. His was a social gospel-that's it. You may think Finney was great. Many do. Personally, I do not.
What’s a Pelagian? Speak english to me please, I’ve had a rough weekend (smile).
