Pelagianism – Works Versus The Gospel Of Grace

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 29, 2019

There are many within Christianity who may unknowingly deny God’s free and eternal gift of salvation by requiring a well-meaning, but a misdirected emphasis on adhering to the Law.

It is the belief that motivated the ministry of Charles Finney, who is known as the ...read more

But the Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him ...read more
