Have you ever heard phrases like this? You have everything you need already inside you. God helps those who help themselves. Your breakthrough is just one decision away. If you have, you have just heard America's favorite heresy. It's called Pelagianism, and it's everywhere! In the early 5th century, two men went to war over this question. Can humans save themselves, or do we need God's grace? One was a British monk who wanted Christians to stop making excuses and take holiness seriously. The other was a North African bishop who'd lived a wild life and knew from experience that willpower wasn't enough. Their names: Pelagius and Augustine. The church had to decide: Is salvation something we achieve, or something we receive? The church is still wrestling with that issue today!
