What does the Bible say about Pelagianism?

Answered in 1 source

Pelagianism is a heretical doctrine that denies original sin and asserts that humans can choose God without divine grace.

Pelagianism, named after its proponent Pelagius, emerged as a significant theological system in opposition to Augustine's teachings on original sin and grace. According to Pelagianism, humans are born innocent and are capable of choosing to follow God solely based on their free will, without any need for divine intervention or grace. This view leads to a fundamental misunderstanding of humanity’s fallen state and undermines the necessity of Christ’s redemptive work. It reverts the biblical understanding of sin, suggesting that individuals can achieve salvation through their own efforts rather than through God's grace, as taught in Ephesians 2:8-9.
