Semi-Pelagian \Sem`i-Pe*la"gi*an\, n. (Eccl. Hist.)
A follower of John Cassianus, a French monk (died about 448),
who modified the doctrines of Pelagius, by denying human
merit, and maintaining the necessity of the Spirit's
influence, while, on the other hand, he rejected the
Augustinian doctrines of election, the inability of man to do
good, and the certain perseverance of the saints.
