|
Pelagian view of Sin and Imputation
|
Every human soul is immediately created in a state of innocence, free from depravity. Adam’s sin is an evil example. Death is not a consequence of sin, but is the natural outcome of mortal life. Man is a sinner because he sins, not because he is born sinful. What God requires us to do – lead holy lives – we must be able to do. Socinians and Unitarians hold this view. Pelagianism was condemned at the Synod of Carthage (418) and at the Council of Ephesus (431).

|
|
Augustinian view of Sin and Imputation
|
Adam transmitted sin to his progeny by means of natural generation. The entire human race existed seminally in Adam.
|
|
|
Semi-Pelagian view of Sin and Imputation
|
Attempting to find a middle way between Pelagianism and Augustine, the John Cassian, Vincent of Lerins and others suggested that Adam’s sin caused spiritual weakness, rather than fallenness, in humanity. If Pelagians identify man as spiritually well, and Augustinians as spiritually dead, the Semi-Pelagians view man as spiritually sick. We suffer from a spiritual deficiency due to Adam’s fall. This is the most common view in Roman Catholicism, and some would categorize Finney as Semi-Pelagian

|
|
Arminian view of Sin and Imputation
|
Adam’s sin causes guilt, depravity, and punishment in the human race, but God’s prevenient grace enables man to cooperate with God to overcome this state. Charles Wesley is representative of the Arminian view.
|
|
|
Federal/Covenantal view of Sin and Imputation
|
Adam was appointed head of the human race by God. God entered into covenant with Adam, agreeing to give eternal life on condition of obedience. The race is condemned on the basis of Adam’s sin. Cocceius (1603-69) and Turretin (1623-87) held this view.

|
|
New School view of Sin and Imputation
|
All men are born with a physical and moral constitution that predisposes them to sin. And all do sin when they arrive at moral consciousness. The original predisposition may be called sin since it inevitably eventuates in sin, but only voluntary acts are actually sin. So, God imputes to men only their own acts of rebellion. A reaction to Puritan anthropology, New School theology is represented by Timothy Dwight.
|
|
|
Neo-orthodox view of Sin and Imputation
|
For Barth, the Fall is representative of what happens to everyone. We all have our own “little scene in the Garden of Eden” (CD IV.1, 508). Both Barth and Brunner reject the reality of an historical Adam and Eve.
|
|
|
Liberation Theology view of Sin and Imputation
|
“Sin is a collective reality manifested in socio-political situations” (IT, 190). Whether oppression of the poor, or an ethnic group, or of group based on sexual identity, sin is not an individual act, but an act of a society. The solution for sin is social and political freedom.
