The Historical Past Of The Methodist Church That All Should Know

By Carl Turner


The methodism follow the democratic system which participate at national convention. There are branches of that methodism which have bishops, but others would reject them. The duties are then divided among the exhorters, itinerant preachers and local preachers. Each four years, the convention would be held into determining the theology like the Wylie United Methodist Church.

The sola scriptura have doctrines that vary in some of the denominations. Some Methodists say that they are concerned more with the deeds and not creeds. That could be emphasized which rigorous dogmas and doctrines that could not applied into methodism as whole.

They have their share in rifts, even at early years. Their main struggles in it regard that place of the homosexual in church. They always have condemned it as sin, which still is official position. There are liberal movement in church that grant the full communion into practicing it and even at ordaining that clergy. There lot of people that believe the issue which result the split of denomination.

The redemption is gift that is available for all, the good work is sign of the justified person. They believe at witness of spirit in assuring themselves which been saved. They believed at good work, acceptable and pleasing the god, spring from the living and true faith, by then the faith would be made evident. The justification is the declaration which the person would be righteous.

There was a list in denominations that includes the affiliated with world Methodist of council that are not been indicated. The relative size of the denomination is really not evident from that list. It might not be the comprehensive but that intends in being the accessible overview in global and diversity scope at contemporary methodism.

They have the seven sacraments while Methodist only have two, the communion and baptism. The understanding on those sacraments is different from the Catholic understanding in them. They believe that baptism is important in stepping at spiritual journey of a person, yet it do not really regard as the necessity in salvation.

The people that are obedient to gospel according into measuring the knowledge that is given the universal salvation. Holy spirit that assures the man of the salvation through the inner experience. The Christians in that life would capable of the perfection and commanded through god in pursuing it.

The stress that need for the works and tend to the fall closer into doctrine than the most of protestants, they see that as result of faith and never as the integral process in justification. Exhortations stress the importance in trusting on god as the personal savior and lord then struck the chord with lot of them. The evangelicalism stresses the personal relationship with the above and appealing on emotional level.

The church for them teaches all saved are being save through joining the church at some manner, even if that would be ware in that. It regards itself as the only church founded via Christ that is needed for the salvation. The latter though believe faith at him and it is necessary but never regard it as for salvation.
