Hodge presents a comparison of the three main theological systems: Pelagianism, Semipelagianism, and Augustinianism (Socinianism, Arminianism, and Calvinism). The early church focused on defending Christianity against heresies and defining the Trinity. The rise of contrasting views on sin, grace, and redemption led to the development of these systems. Augustinianism (Calvinism) emphasizes original sin, total depravity, irresistible grace, and unconditional election. Pelagianism (Socinianism) denies original sin, affirms free will, and believes in conditional election. Arminianism falls between these, advocating for free will, resistible grace, and conditional election.","sermonType":"teaching","mediaType":"TEXT","hasAudio":false,"hasTranscript":true,"duration":"","videoUrl":"","mp3Url":"","mp4Url":"","cdnMp3Url":"","cdnMp4Url":"","archiveAudioUrl":"","archiveVideoUrl":"","srtUrl":"","vttUrl":"","pdfUrl":"https://www.sermonindex.net/pdf-text/pdf/a/aa-hodge--outlines-of-theology-pelagianism-semi-pelagianism-augustinianism.pdf","txtUrl":"https://www.sermonindex.net/pdf-text/txt/a/aa-hodge--outlines-of-theology-pelagianism-semi-pelagianism-augustinianism.txt","thumbnailUrl":"https://www.sermonindex.net/images/speakers/a/aahodge.png","image":"https://www.sermonindex.net/images/speakers/a/aahodge.png","topics":[{"name":"Original Sin","slug":"original-sin"},{"name":"Free Will","slug":"free-will"}],"scripture":[{"text":"John 6:44","bookId":"JHN","book":"John","chapter":6,"verse":44},{"text":"John 10:28","bookId":"JHN","book":"John","chapter":10,"verse":28},{"text":"Romans 5:12","bookId":"ROM","book":"Romans","chapter":5,"verse":12},{"text":"Romans 8:30","bookId":"ROM","book":"Romans","chapter":8,"verse":30},{"text":"Romans 8:38","bookId":"ROM","book":"Romans","chapter":8,"verse":38},{"text":"Ephesians 2:8","bookId":"EPH","book":"Ephesians","chapter":2,"verse":8},{"text":"Philippians 3:12","bookId":"PHP","book":"Philippians","chapter":3,"verse":12},{"text":"1 Timothy 2:4","bookId":"1TI","book":"1 Timothy","chapter":2,"verse":4},{"text":"Hebrews 6:4","bookId":"HEB","book":"Hebrews","chapter":6,"verse":4},{"text":"1 John 5:13","bookId":"1JN","book":"1 John","chapter":5,"verse":13}]},{"id":"1wFkr64FxUet9qyw","slug":"true-christians-evangelize","title":"True Christians Evangelize!","url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/speakers/aaron-clark/true-christians-evangelize/","apiUrl":"https://api.sermonindex.net/v2/sermons/1wFkr64FxUet9qyw","speaker":"Aaron Clark","speakerSlug":"aaron-clark","speakerUrl":"https://www.sermonindex.net/speakers/aaron-clark/","speakerImage":"https://sermonindex1.b-cdn.net/default-si-speaker.png","summary":"The sermon emphasizes that all true Christians evangelize because they have the Holy Spirit, and that witnessing is a necessary fruit of the Holy Spirit.","description":"In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of actively sharing the message of Christ with others.
