This is probably one of the best articles I have ever read.

So basically, "Pietism" is the term given to the reality that many people, after accepting the free gift of salvation based on the finished work of Christ, still try to earn points with God or press deeper into Him by their own power by being "good" and following a list of do's and don't's...?

Wow, this reality is lived out by at least 95% of the Christians I know. It's GREAT to have a name for this phenomenon. Thank you so much for this article. It is a very useful tool.
