Bible Note: AUTOSOTERISM is the doctrine that each human being has the power to merit salvation by stint of effort, works, practice, or penance. A few advocates include: Pelagius, John Cassian, Faustus of Riez, Desiderius Erasmus, Hans Kung, Jeffrey L. Morrow. SYNERGISM is the doctrine that there are two efficient agents in regeneration, namely the human will and the Holy Spirit, which, in the strict sense of the term, cooperate. This theory accordingly holds that the soul has not lost in the fall all inclination toward holiness, nor all power to seek for it under the influence of ordinary motives.* A few advocates include: Jacob Harmensen, Hugo Grotius, John Wesley, Charles Finney, Clark Pinnock, North Whitehead, Kenneth Copeland, Oral Roberts, Robert Schuller. MONERGISM is the doctrine that the Holy Spirit is the only efficient agent in regeneration -- that the human will possesses no inclination to holiness until regenerated, and therefore cannot cooperate in regeneration.* A few advocates include: Augustine, John Chrysostom, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Thomas Manton, Charles Spurgeon, Martyn-Lloyd Jones, R. C. Sproul, John MacArthur. *These definitions are from the Century Dictionary. |
