10 REASONS THE METHODIST CHURCH

IS NOT THE CHURCH OF THE BIBLE

 

1. Their elaborate organizational structure and conferences are man-made (The Bible's simple plan: local congregations with their elders and deacons - Philippians 1:1)

2. The name "Methodist" is unscriptural (even John Wesley himself initially only wanted to reform the church of England of which he was a member)

3. They follow a man-made discipline (The Bible is to be the only measure of faith - II Timothy 3:16-17)

4. They claim a person is saved by faith only (The Bible teaches to the contrary - James 2:24)

5. They accept sprinkling as baptism (The Bible form of baptism is immersion - Colossians 2:12)

6. They permit infant baptism (The Bible teaches belief must precede baptism - Mark 16:16)

7. They use instruments of music in worship (The New Testament teaches singing only - Ephesians 5:19)

8. They have a separate clergy and laity (The Bible says all Christians have equal position - Matthew 23:8-12)

9. They encourage one to rest his case on the warm feelings of the heart, experiences, or conscience (The Bible says we are to walk by faith in God's word - II Corinthians 5:7; Romans 10:17)

10. They teach that sin is inherited (The Bible denies this as possible - Ezekiel 18:20)

 

* Though these are only some of the errors of this religion,
they will suffice to prove the proposition,
that the Methodist church is
not
the church of the Bible.
