Arianism

You are Arianism!

The heresy of Arianism is so named after Arius, a priest who taught in Alexandria, Egypt. Arius taught that Jesus Christ was a created being and therefore subordinate to God the Father, rather than a divine person having the same substance as the Father. Arius therefore denied Christ's pre-existence, holding that he came into being at some later time and could not be described as the "son of God" in the fullest sense. Arian beliefs were opposed by the fourth-century bishop Athanasius of Alexandria, who insisted that the Father and Son were co-eternal and of the same substance (Greek "homoousios") with each other. Arius's teachings were condemned explicitly by the Council of Niceae in 325, although remnants of Arianism continued to be taught in parts of Europe until the seventh century. A more moderate position, known as "semi-Arianism," taught that the Father and Son were of a similar but not identical substance to one another ("homoiousios"), which was likewise condemned as heretical.

You are Antinomianism!

Antinomianism teaches that, since salvation is by faith alone, Christians are under no obligation to obey any moral law. Views of this sort were held by various Gnostic sects in the early centuries of the church, who argued that laws governing human behaviour were of no account since the inward spiritual essence of the human person could never be affected by the actions of the physical body. The term "antinomianism" itself, however, only arose in the aftermath of the continental Reformation, in which some of the more extreme followers of Luther understood the new emphasis on salvation through faith to invalidate the validity of any standard of moral law. Although Luther himself condemned this belief as a heresy, bitter antinomian controversies continued to spring up within Lutheranism and within English Puritanism throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The doctrine is condemned in the Lutheran Book of Concord and in the Decree on Justification of the Council of Trent.

Anyways, I took it again, and my heresy was BEN!!!

What? Love that they have Tu quoque in here. I hope Rah said that was his favourite fallacy.

Anyhoo - Pelagianism. Unsurprising for an ex-protestant.

Seems about right.
