Dr. Albert Mohler - Why Moralism Is Not the Gospel -- And Why So Many Christians Think It Is
Check out this excerpt of great article by Dr. A.Mohler on Moralism.
In our own context, one of the most seductive false gospels is moralism. This false gospel can take many forms and can emerge from any number of political and cultural impulses. Nevertheless, the basic structure of moralism comes down to this -- the belief that the Gospel can be reduced to improvements in behavior.
Sadly, this false gospel is particularly attractive to those who believe themselves to be evangelicals motivated by a biblical impulse. Far too many believers and their churches succumb to the logic of moralism and reduce the Gospel to a message of moral improvement. In other words, we communicate to lost persons the message that what God desires for them and demands of them is to get their lives straight.

This is pretty much what Charles Finney taught isn't it? Yet he is still considered a great revivalist!
Yep, you pretty much nailed it Scott.. Amazing how so many adored Finney in the circles I use to run in.
