I emphasise think in relation to the book as I could be wrong….its been a month or 2 since I finished the book and my memory may not be serving me correctly! Basically the “alter call” and the like stem for Finney’s “revivalism” meetings and indeed his theology has filtered down into a lot of western Christianity as a whole. Finney was a heretic and needs to be exposed as being one. A lot of false converts resulted from his ministry, much similar to today’s say a little prayer and ask Jesus into your heart and BAMN! YOU’VE GOT THE HOLY SPIRIT BABAYYYY AND YOUR TOKEN INTO HEAVEN!!

Do check out white horse inn for this and also the modern reformation articles archive as I am sure there is some stuff on there as well!!

Oh – I just looked at the Phil Johnson link – I included that in my letter telling the pastor why we were leaving!

I have some friends who have fallen deeply into the traps of Finney’s theology. This is shocking to me because they used to be so strong in their beliefs, and now they are pushing doctrines such as Open Theism and Sinless Perfection. It is sad to see the changes they have made and how it has affected their ministries.
