You have to break it down by region, though there are traditions that developed in the US like Methodism. Ironically the Brits, early on, saw America as very much a Reformed country and thus called the Rev the Presbyterian Revolt. Meanwhile Episcopalians claim the national church

I love Methodism

I’m less concerned if he was perfect or not - who is perfect? I’m questioning if he is credible in his claim to be a prophet of God Re: Methodism - I’m not familiar with that branch of Protestantism, but I think most are Sola Scriptura. I’m unaware of any passage of the Old or New Testament that says people of African descent have the Mark of Cain

Methodism is closest

Sorry to hear that. Ironically, we're back at the UMC after a decade. But our church at least rn is staying right down the center and focusing on very traditional Methodism. We can't do irreverent low-church any more. Love the liturgy and hymns of high-church.

Possibly a driver. But there were social reform movements before Marx, not least by the Methodist church. Harold Wilson famously said that the British Labour movement “owed more to Methodism than to Marx”.

Those involved in Waste Management and Environmental Protection are familiar with the phrase "Cleanliness is next to godliness" which is famously associated with John Wesley, the co-founder of Methodism. There's a lot Zambians can learn from this and stop indiscrimate littering.

My opinion on religions: 🟫🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪 Catholicism 🟨 Eastern Orthodoxy 🟨 Oriental Orthodoxy 🟨 Lutheranism 🟦 Anglicanism 🟦 Methodism 🟪 Evangelicalism 🟨 Reformed 🟦 Shiism 🟧 Sunnism 🟧 Judaism 🟧 Atheism 🟫 Paganism 🟫 Buddhism 🟥 Spiritualism 🟥 Hinduism 🟫

Old school methodism was an interesting denomination. A number of the earlier ones were oil, wealth that were very pious and trusting in very good architects. The theological seminary is proof positive.

it will be through the proper authorities, such as the High Priest. Under Christianity, who has that authority is disputed. I'm Pentecostal. I don't think anyone has that authority. Catholics think the Pope does. Orthodox think the bishops do. In Smith's Methodism, no way. 2/2

And that’s why I do what I do, most people’s exposure to ‘Methodism’ is the institutional UMC, not Wesley himself. The man deserves better representation than he’s gotten.

The Book of Mormon has heaven and hell. That’s it. Modern Mormonism doesn’t even have hell, and heaven now includes tiers within tiers. 2 Nephi 2 and Alma don’t describe the modern Mormon cosmology. Everything has changed. The Book of Mormon is basically 19th century Methodism.

Methodism was excellent for Christianity as a whole

Lol, do you think Methodism, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism are holding any better?!

This reminds me of the Methodism situation that I grew up in. Our church was not high church Methodist Episcopal. Many a rural Methodist church in our area (Middle and Central Georgia) did not regularly recite the creeds or the Lord's Prayer as part of the liturgy or have the formal processional, no matter how big or small. In that regards, we were more like our Baptist brethren, of which I also grew up in.

Puritanism/Unitarianism/Calvinism (Methodism on the line) combined with and complimenting/informing petty anglo commercialist values creates the toxic cocktail from which abominations such as wokeism and supremacism descend

Are you Methodist? I hear Wesley and all I can think is John Wesley, founder of Methodism, Wesleyan University, etc.

"As a good man, with his reputation for piety, for evangelism and for his sufferings for the truth, Baxter’s errors had much more influence than those of lesser men. It was chiefly Baxter’s thinking which led to the split between Presbyterians and Independents in the 1690s and it is generally accepted that Baxter’s disciples among the Presbyterians set the course which finished up with almost that whole tradition becoming Unitarian. Referring to English Presbyterianism, Samuel J. Baird writes; ‘Beginning in the theological aberrations of the sainted Baxter, it ended in blasphemies against the Son and Spirit of God’. The seeds sown in Baxter’s lifetime did not stop with the English Presbyterians. What he wrote on justification and against imputed righteousness was in part reprinted by John Wesley and had widespread influence on the course of Methodism on both sides of the Atlantic. Presbyterianism in Scotland was also widely affected. Baxter’s example taught a generation of Scots ministers to regard the orthodox doctrine of justification as Antinomian and, as John Macleod comments, this ‘developed the legal strain which at a later stage showed itself as full-blown Moderatism’." — Iain Murray, 19.

I think that’s Methodism
