Terminology
- Pelagianism: the belief that original sin did not taint Human nature and that mortal will is still capable of choosing good or evil without special divine aid.
- Total Depravity: the doctrine that mankind, by virtue of being tainted by original sin, is unable to do anything that pleases God without His divine enabling.
