Charles Finney was far from a great evangelist. He actually advocated for heresy in his own writings.
One example is his rejection of imputed righteousness and justification by faith alone.
These and similar passages are relied upon, as teaching the doctrine of an imputed righteousness; and such as these: "The Lord our righteousness" (Phil. 3:9). . . . "Christ our righteousness" is Christ the author or procurer of our justification. But this does not imply that He procures our justification by imputing His obedience to us. . . [Charles Finney, Systematic Theology (Minneapolis: Bethany), 372-73].
AMEN✊🏾
His heart and wisdom are sorely missed. RIP Kieth
