Charles Finney has been called one of the greatest evangelists by men such as Billy Graham and Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel.

I respect Billy Graham and Chuck Smith, but did they understand what they were saying?

Charles Finney was a Pelagian who denied justification by faith alone, imputed righteousness, and original sin. Additionally, he taught sinless perfectionism.

The question is, can there be any presentation of the genuine gospel without justification by faith alone, imputed righteousness and original sin?

I think not.

By the way, there are a significant number of street preachers that follow Charles Finney's essential teachings.
