Methodist
Began as a revival movement within The Church of England initiated by John Wesley, Charles Wesley, and George Whitefield which was forced to become a separate denomination after the American Revolutionary War when The Church of England cut off all ties to its churches in American colonies. The Wesleys began to ordain ministers after establishing Methodism as a denomination.
Beliefs:
1) Trinity.
2) The 66 book Holy Bible is true and factual in every aspect.
3) God gives opportunity to every human to become born again.
4) Christians can fall from God if they continue to sin willfully and fail to repent and fail to stop sinning.
5) Salvation, water baptism, and Holy Spirit baptism are three separate events but only salvation is required for eternal life.
6) There will be a rapture, 7 year tribulation, and return of Christ to earth where He will defeat the armies of Satan, establish a 1000 year Kingdom on earth, and judge all beings at the end of time.
7) If you are not living a holy life then you will never see God.
George Whitefield later drifted from basic Methodist beliefs and adopted Calvinistic heresy.
Through the years, Methodism has become corrupt in several congregations globally.
Methodist Church denominations are too numerous to name. Names of organizations that include "Methodist" and "Wesleyan" are tied to Methodist Churches in some manner.
The largest is The United Methodist Church which presently fails to enforce its belief system in Liberal areas especially in The United States.
I left The United Methodist Church at age 12 and became a Church of God member due to my discovery that Conferences had a Roman Catholic style and because they were going to allow non practicing homosexual ministers to serve. The latter has been altered since then thanks be to God. Yet, present day apostates in the organization refuse to adhere to guidelines.
I encourage all United Methodist members to begin locating a new congregation that is effective in enforcing its rules and knows how to embrace historical Christianity.

In spring 2022, The United Methodist Church died. It has voted to violate scripture for the sake of social trends, "wokeness" so-called. Is every congregation or congregant to blame? No. When a church votes on following the Bible or not, it is no longer a church denomination. The United Methodist Church has in 2022 decided to violate scripture for the sake of opinion and a redefinition of morality. The United Christian Church is no longer Christian. It is apostate, anathema, and antichrist. I encourage gatherings of Believers who are forced to obey UMC's voting opinion rather than scripture who wish to follow God, in spite of trends, to break away from the false denomination and follow what The Global Methodist Church newly formed has done. One does not vote on scripture. Love people. Hate the sin. Hating sin does not equate to hating people. People are free to do what they want but there are consequences for actions. We can love the people without condoning their actions. Love the sinner. Hate the sin.
