Brannon Howse: Aired October 30, 2014

Who is best credited with starting the following in evangelicalism: the church growth movement, Altar calls, emotional story telling in sermons, emotional and psychological manipulation in services, long drawn out services and long drawn out altar calls, the church as a political moralizing social movement and odd public manifestations in services? All of this can be largely blamed on a false teacher by the name of Charles Finney. Dr. Tommy Ice joins Brannon to discuss the worldview of Finney. Did you know that Finny rejected the doctrine of original sin, doctrine of justification by faith, doctrine of imputed righteousness, and believed in a works salvation? If you want to understand in part the current state of evangelicalism then you need to understand how it got where it is today and how Charles Finney helped to bring it to this point. Topic: We take your calls.
