There was something odd in his theology, but I forget what it was.

Probably that he was actually a Pelagian (spit!!) who held to an exclusive governmental view of the attonement, thus denying it's actual sacrificial nature.

Article VII—Of Original or Birth Sin Original sin standeth not in the following of Adam (as the Pelagians do vainly talk), but it is the corruption of the nature of every man, that naturally is engendered of the offspring of Adam, whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness, and of his own nature inclined to evil, and that continually.

What do you call it when you believe humans have original sin and are therefore guilty AND believe that it becomes ESPECIALLY your own (fully guilty) when you actually COMMIT sin?

Guilty and Fully Guilty. I think that's what the discussion was about. (at least for me)
