Bearing False Witness is a Sin, A Warning of God's Judgment

Do you think all these verses refer to man-made faith?

Or is "your faith" referring to the individual gift of faith given to the believer by God?

 

Indeed the righteousness of Christ, justifying us by faith, saves us from the wrath of God falling upon us.
Romans is a letter that everyone should read and study intently to get this right.

 

Finney was accused of Pelagianism in his own day by men like Asahel Nettleton and this has carried on pretty much ever since. It is not something that MacArthur started. And no wonder since he openly denied original sin. "If man had a sinful nature, there was no adaption in the Gospel to change his nature, and consequently no connection, in religion, between means and end" [from his autobiography]
On the subject of false witness, when Finney was ordained, he had to give an affirmation of the Westminster Confession of Faith. He later admitted that at the time of his ordination he had not even read it.

 

I am no fan of Finney and his theology.
Lets be honest here, and study what he said.

That is an excellent article. Since it quotes Finney extensively, it cannot be said to be false.

 

Since you choose to speak for all, while Pelegians are rare, many appear to tread very close to a form of Semi-Pelagianism in their personal theology … a co-salvation equally dependent upon God doing HIS part and Man doing HIS part with either partner capable of terminating or initiating a salvation.

Few would describe their faith in such terms, but if pressed, the facts would be the same.

“Calvinism” may be wrong, but it is at least clear about placing GOD and only GOD in the driver’s seat of justification, sanctification and glorification. Thus it is the antithesis of (semi-) Pelagianism.
