"Arminianism is one of the many great heresies perpetrated upon the world. And those pastors and preachers and teachers and evangelists who preach the man-centered heresy of Arminianism are guilty of heresy." Is there a line drawn in the sand here?
At one time the exalted saint of America, Pelagius, was called a heretic and declared so in the synod at Carthage, which was presided over by Aurelius, while fifty-nine bishops of the ecclesiastical province of Numidia, to which the See of Hippo, St. Augustine's see belonged, held a synod in Mileve. In both places the doctrines of Pelagius were rejected as contradictory. Surprisingly the Catholic Church declared Pelagius a heretic!
Their belief is Pelagianism just "bled to death", but no, variations of it are strong in American Fundamentalism. Pelagianism is obvious in cults like Jehovah Witnesses and Unitarianism. But it is disguised in American Fundamentalism. Men like Adrian Rogers and Jerry Vines embrace forms of it, all the while claiming to be Biblicist.
Imagine, Adrian Rogers embracing what the Catholic Church rejected! That is a double edged statement that can make you proud or it can make you shameful. What does it do for you?

About Me
- WatchingHISstory
- Collierville, Tennessee, United States
- New Years eve 2005 God healed my personality and released me to be the kind of person he wants me to be. This was not a born-again experience because I had become a Christian at age 10 and was baptized in water, trinitarian, as an outward sign of an inward work of grace. During forty seven years I had stumbled through Church experiences seeing the humiliation that God himself endures because of the faulty theological views of Christ's atonement. God is mocked from the pulpit. Preachers have the audacity to obligate God to be a God of love. They rule by their own self-determination. Their behavior reflects their arrogant self-centered theology. While He is a God of incomprehendible love, He is also a God of wrath far greater than the human mind can understand. God is mocking American fundamentalism and it's lukewarm gospel. He is spewing it out of his mouth.
