By Carl Turner


The Methodist believe in which human can know in time that they would be saved. The catholic believe which no on in earth that could be assured of the salvation, beside form the special revelation. The salvation for the catholic happens when the person has pass. That is unlikely for 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.

For a catholic, the confirmation is sacrament which give the person the grace in being strong at faith. The other though does not regard the ordination as the sacrament yet it ordains both the women and men. They regard it priestly which makes the priests the successors of apostles. They hold only men could be ordained.

That movement has wide variety in form of the worship that range from the high church into low church at liturgical usage. The denominations which descend from tradition generally are less ritualistic. It is known for the rich tradition in music and that the early leader was instrumental at writing the songs.
