He moved in 4 months ago, and drank like no one you have ever seen. He was just released from rehab yesterday and he believes that everything that happened to him is God's will. This said to me that he refuses to take personal responsibility, and is ignoring the fact that God gave us free will. Do recovering alcoholics need to take personal reasponsibility to be successful?

Do recovering alcoholics need to take personal reasponsibility to be successful? Yes...but even that does not guarantee success.
1) It is a simple matter. Alcoholics must not get drunk, they must not drink.
2) Once they agree that this is the case....they need to agree that they are an alcoholic or have a drinking problem and that they should stop drinking.
3) The issue is stopping drinking....not the fault.
4) Many Alcoholics will never give up drinking regardless of the facts or acceptance of responsibility. This is why many consider this a mental disease....after all why would someone continue with this behavior if it leads to social, economic or health pr0oblems...truly carzy right?

Your question was what do you do. If your roomie doesn't get his act together, find a new one.

Its his problem, not yours. Butt out. If he is part of a progam (AA) he will learn to take responsibility. (12 steps)
