How to deal with the heresy of the church

Around 170 AD, Montanus quoted a Bible verse and said that he was the prophet of the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to send. He performed new prophetic activities, developed a strong reaction to the corruption of the church's ethics, secularization, and institutionalization. It was believed that if we were abstinent, we would be saved. In the modern church, you can see that in the Unification Church or Shinchonji, the headmaster calls himself the Second Advent Jesus Christ. It is not only heretical denominations. For example, when a pastor preaches in a modern church, the church member is punished if he does not listen to the pastor. In order to overcome this Montanistic element, the proclamation of the word must be made not through human thought, but through the work of the Holy Spirit based on the Bible. After Christianity was accredited in Rome through the edict of Milan (A.D. 313), there was a controversy over the treatment of an apostate priest. At this time, Donatus insisted that he be severely punished. This method of punishment was later known as Donatism after Donatus. They depended on salvation, not the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, but the divine human agent. In addition, they fall into the mistake of seeing that the grace and healing power of the Christian gospel depends on the purity of the church and ministers.

We must confess that the Gospel comes only from the Triune God, and this is the only way to receive grace and salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. Pelagius was an immaculate personality, emphasizing strict spiritual and moral life. He had a lifelong argument with St. Augustine, and about Augustine's negative evaluation of human nature and emphasis on sinful nature, Pelagius saw Augustine's logic as a result of removing all human motives for a holy life. He also insisted that our sinfulness today comes not from original sin but from our own actions. The New Age idea is the best manifestation of the Pelagian elements in the modern church. In other words, man has the concept that man can be God and man is God. In the church, people are too proud of themselves and too advanced in established norms, leading to pride. In order to overcome this Pelagius, we must return to the spirit of “only the Bible, only faith, only grace” that was shouted during the Reformation.
