The New Testament Church Found in the thirteenth paragraph of the second section 'Apostolic Fathers '

In giving an account of the controversy started by Pelagius and Coelestius who taught that the law qualified men for the kingdom of heaven, Mosheim says: "These monks looked upon the doctrines which were commonly received concerning the original corruption of human nature and the necessity of divine grace to enlighten the understanding and purify the heart as prejudicial to the progress of holiness and virtue and tending to lull mankind into a presumptuous and fatal security," (Volume I, page 155).

Mosheim shows that the doctrine of original sin and the necessity of divine grace to purify the heart was the prevailing doctrine until the days of Pelagius. He further shows that the doctrine of Pelagianism was finally condemned.
