God bless you;
Just had a go-round with a staunch adherent to Pelagius and Finney. There appears to be a movement afoot with several linked websites, but the origin of the modern movement and source of this cult is very obscure/hidden. Maybe you could take a look at it and it would sure be nice to pin-it down.
It has a great deal of the Seventh Day Adventist flavor with their contention that the mark of the beast is a system rather than an individual, coupled with extreme legalism.
This is a new one on me with rejection of original sin and imputation of both sin and the righteousness of Christ. There are links to three or four websites which carry the same teachings, but without reference to a common denomination/organization.

Repentance: is granted and commanded by God to ALL men everywhere. (Acts 5:31; 11:18; 17:30-31; 20:21; 26:20; Ro. 2:4; 2 Ti. 2:25; 2 Pe. 3:9). (Repentance is NOT an apology for being sinful!) The process of repentance is to sweep, scrape, scrub and cast out of doors all defilement of the heart IN ORDER to make it clean for the reception of the Holy Spirit. (Matt. 12:43-45; Lk. 11:24-26). Repentance is a change of mind, inclinations and desires, which translates into a total change in character and conduct. (Mt. 3:8; Mk. 4:12; Lk. 8:15; Jn. 8:34; 8:36; Lk. 19:1-10; Acts 26:20; 2 Co. 6:1; 5:17; 1 Thess. 1:9; 2 Tim. 2:19; Tts. 2:11-12). Genuine repentance is initiated by God through a crisis of conviction leading to a season of godly sorrow for sin. (Jn. 16:8; Acts 2:37; 4:8-10; 5:31; 11:18; 2 Co. 7:10). The DESIGN of Bible repentance (from Genesis to Revelation) is clearly, ‘forsake’ your wickedness, ‘purge’ your heart of evil and SEEK the Mercy of God. (Isa. 55:7; Jer. 26:13; Pro. 28:13; Jon. 3:8-10; Matt. 12:41; Lk. 15:11-32; Acts 3:19; 2 Co. 7:10-11; 2 Tim. 2:19; Jas. 3:7-10; 1 Pe. 4:1; Rev. 2:5; 2:16; 2:20-22; 3:3; 3:19)! In repentance ALL filthiness and overflow of wickedness is 'laid aside' and in meekness is the Implanted Word received. (Lk. 8:11-15; Jas. 1:21; 4:6; 1 Pe. 5:5-6). The passions and desires of the flesh are crucified (Ro. 6:6; Gal. 5:24). (This happens in Repentance, not afterward. It’s done once for all NOT to be repeated!) Old things pass away and all things become new. (Ro. 2:29; 6:4-6; 12:1-2; 2 Co. 5:17; Eph. 4:22-24; Col. 2:11-12; 3:5). All KNOWN sins of the flesh have ceased. (Pro. 28:13; Isa. 55:7; Jer. 26:13; Ezk. 18:21-23; Jon. 3:8-10; 1 Co. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5-7; Jas. 1:21; 1 Pe. 4:1; Rev. 21:7-8; 22:15). To dismiss Scriptural repentance is to nullify reconciliation with God and without conversion there is no Divine forgiveness. (Lk. 13:3; 24:47; Mk. 4:12; Acts 3:19; 2 Co. 7:10). Genuine Repentance is a condition for salvation. (Mk. 1:15; Lk. 13:3; Acts 5:31; 11:18; 17:30; 20:21; Ro. 2:4; 2 Co. 7:10; 2 Pe. 3:9).
