Intersting comment:
DOOR: Would that be the 19th-century revivalist Charles Grandison Finney?
SPROUL: Finney, yeah. I don't think Finney was even semi-Pelagian.
DOOR: Don't you mean "Charles"?
SPROUL: Finney was an unabashed Pelagian.
DOOR: Uh, "Grandison"?
SPROUL: Most evangelicals haven't read him, and they're shocked when they read Finney's own statements because he was vehemently pro-Pelagianism.
DOOR: He was almost flat-out heretical in a number of ways, wasn't he?
SPROUL: I'd take out the "almost." Not only that, but he categorically rejected substitutionary atonement and justification by faith alone.
DOOR: Was he theologically wacko or just not very bright?
SPROUL: He was no dummy. He was trained in law and more or less self-trained in theology.
I'm sure there's a story there. I wonder who the Calvinist in Van Halen is/was. I know Gary Cheron is pro-life, but I don't know if he's a believer.
