Later Wesleyan and pietist movements: holiness and temperance « Churchmouse Campanologist:
Two of last week’s posts introduced pietism. The first explored its origins in Germany and the second examined its expansion in Methodism.
As we saw, pietism is based on the theology of Christian perfection, which comes from the perfection of Christ. Whilst all Christians are enjoined to sanctification — bearing increasingly holy attitudes and behaviours as a result of God’s grace and the Holy Spirit working through them — the danger is semi-Pelagianism. A list of proscribed activities — dancing, drinking and smoking — is not only a form of legalism but gives some believers in Arminian (‘free will’) denominations the idea that they can save themselves by obeying this checklist of behaviours.
