Pelagianism was a 3rd century heresy created by the British ascetic, Pelagius. Its main emphasis was that the Imago Deo means that humans have the radical free will to choose to side with God, and that in choosing to side with God, they must spend their every moment serving him.
Augustine of Hippo continuously condemned the Pelagians in a series of theological treatises, though they accused him of bringing Manichean determinism into Christianity due to his assertion that salvation was by the grace of God alone and that God had predestined the Saints before time began. Augustine's response was to show not only was predestination clear through the writings of the Church Fathers, but also throughout Scripture.
