The Historical and Biblical Outlier of Wesleyan Salvation and Sanctification (Part 8)
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Part Six Part Seven John Wesley’s two-tiered framework of initial and then entire sanctification has since produced a false gospel in many different iterations. It mutated into various versions, forking off like branches from the root or trunk of […]
The Historical and Biblical Outlier of Wesleyan Salvation and Sanctification (Part 7)
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Part Six Wesley’s two-tiered innovation of initial and entire sanctification gave rise to new variations downstream from Wesleyanism. Despite the variation, the commonality among them is a net, common perversion of the gospel. John Wesley brought salvation by works: the […]
The Historical and Biblical Outlier of Wesleyan Salvation and Sanctification (Part 6)
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five The baptismal regeneration piece of John Wesley’s doctrine of salvation and sanctification phased out of Wesleyanism and Methodism during the 19th century, leaving two remaining that were hugely problematic to a biblical, historical, true, and saving faith. Of the two, one […]
The Historical and Biblical Outlier of Wesleyan Salvation and Sanctification (Part 5)
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Like many other movements since the first century, when Jesus started His church, John Wesley’s movement claimed a kind of return to primitive Christianity.

Part One Part Two Wesley’s Incoherent System: Baptismal Regeneration, Apostasy, and the Second Blessing Very few modern Wesleyans and Methodists deal with or consider at all their historical and theological foundations in baptismal regeneration. What has happened across the spectrum of Wesleyan and Methodist denominations is not a careful theological resolution of the contradiction […]

From this rejection of the Roman Catholic Church proceeded a Protestant Reformation in England, that never did discard the state church and many Roman Catholic teachings. In whatever way […]

Part One John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield began their search for the truth within the infrastructure of the Church of England in the early 18th century. John started the formal Christian religious denomination, the Methodists, with a break from the Moravians after having been an ordained Anglican cleric. No one sent him. He […]
The Theology of John Wesley and Its Impact on the Methodist and Wesleyan Churches
In my thirty-three years of church planting and then pastoring in the San Francisco Bay Area, I never met a converted or saved Methodist. It was just the opposite. They were some of the most liberal, unsaved people I ever met. I’m not Methodist. Even when I look at the history, I ask from where […]
