As for John Wesley, I think you took a pretty hard line on him for a little while, mostly because of his teaching about perfectionism. 1 John 1.10 seems to say that if we think we're perfect (as Wesley taught we could be), then God's word isn't in us and we aren't even Christians. Do you still see any kind of connection between that verse and John Wesley's teaching, or was he kind of back-and-forth in his teaching on the subject?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15922652724607532192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448958049455077216.post-62335834631373996442011-06-14T20:49:55.159-06:002011-06-14T20:49:55.159-06:00I think the main reason for the backlash was the c...I think the main reason for the backlash was the comments were read out of context, but I still assert my point that sanctification ends when Christ calls us Home. Having studied Wesley a little more, my respect for him has actually gone up. He knew and loved the Gospel, he was just a little confused on the free will/election issue. <br /><br />Finney I have no respect for. The man lied to a council of Reformed pastors so he could preach, and after he started denying the very things he swore to teach he basically said, "I never said that." He may be the father of modern revivalism in America, but he preached the Gospel out of selfish interests rather than seeing souls respond to Christ. Shameful. Oh and his Systematic Theology is a joke. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448958049455077216.post-11862721376665444192011-06-14T16:57:09.799-06:002011-06-14T16:57:09.799-06:00Hey Ryan, I remember the backlash against your com...Hey Ryan, I remember the backlash against your comments on Wesley/Finney when I originally posted this on my Facebook page; it was intense.
