Semipelagianizm

Semipelagianism - in Christian theology, the view of the relationship of God's grace and the free will of man.

He refers to Pelagianism, but is trying to avoid the radicality of his ideas. According to Semipelagianism, faith begins with the act of will of man, and only then does the grace of God come to it. The Semipelagians used the metaphor of God's first step toward God - the man himself comes to faith, and God continues to lead him.

In light of the dogma of the Catholic Church, semipelagianism is a heresy as it rejects the notion of grace sufficient to accept the faith. As heresy, he was diagnosed under the influence of Jan Cassian's writings, and he strongly condemned Augustine of Hippo.

In the light of Lutheran dogma, semipelagianism is close to Catholic doctrine (assuming that the sinner is able to believe independently and cooperate with the Divine Grace on his own initiative or on his own initiative).

Semipelagan was also called the Jesuit Molinist theology, as it emphasized the independence of man in his quest for faith - this name was used primarily by the Augustusians in the pejorative sense.
