The Gospel According to the Heretic Pelagius
"Humanism, in all its subtle forms, recapitulates the unvarnished Pelagianism against which Augustine struggled. Though Pelagius was condemned as a heretic by Rome, and its modified form, Semi-Pelagianism was likewise condemned by the Council of Orange in 529, the basic assumptions of this view persisted throughout church history to reappear in Medieval Catholicism, Renaissance Humanism, Socinianism, Arminianism, and modern Liberalism. The seminal thought of Pelagius survives today not as a trace or tangential influence but is pervasive in the modern church. Indeed, the modern church is held captive by it."

Here is a great audio follow up to this subject by the folks @ The White Horse Inn...
After reading Sproul's article and listening to the Audio about the Heretic Pelagius. Ask yourself this very question . In all honesty, does my Theology & Doctrine at the core, line up with Pelagius and his "Semi-Pelagianism (Man Centered) view" or with the Bible and its "Christ Centered view"? When I asked myself this question about 4-5 years ago, I found my answer was the Bill-Centered view.
