John Champneys was a 16th-century English religious radical. On 27 April 1959, he was brought before Archbishop Thomas Cranmer at St. Paul's Cathederal to repent various heresies, including the idea that once a person is spiritually reborn in Christ, they cannot sin, denying that those reborn in Christ could lose their godly love or break Christ's commandments, and of promoting the belief that people do not possess a spirit enabling them to remain righteous in Christ. Additionally, he was accused of advocating that God's chosen people could enjoy worldly possessions fully. He died in or after 1559.[1]
