Good show. On John Wesley's theological identify, not only was he a committed Anglican priest until his death, but he was a high churchman at that. Strong sacramental theology, and a particular loyalty to the Church of England's ecclesiastical order and established liturgical rites. On this, see H.W. Holden's John Wesley in Company with High Churchmen. It can be viewed on Google books for free. Wild stuff.
It just goes to show that John Wesley defied typical theological categorization, and that the high church principles of episcopal governance, liturgical order, and sacramental realism and a concern for heart religion, revival, and evangelism are not mutually exclusive.
The main point about Wesley is that he rediscovered the central doctrine that man is justified by faith in Christ alone , and he had the burning desire to transmit this to others. In his personal life he was not perfect , but his influence changed the face of Britain both spiritually and socially in the 19th century . However , the greatest tragedy is that the methodist church in Britain today has in very many cases has become so 'established and respectable' that it has forgotten the revolutionary message of the life transforming Gospel of grace ! ( and the hymns of Charles Wesley, who had a gift of summarizing in popular musical form the profoundest Biblical doctrines , and making them accessible to all !)
FYI: I got sidetracked by looking up the Moravian Church on Wikipedia when you were talking about Wesley's trip to America. (Don't worry; I stopped the video while I did this and didn't miss a word.) But, it was VERY interesting! You guys might want to consider it for a show topic.
Can't believe I missed this one. Yet another jewel in the Remnant Radio crown. Can we see Wesley as a kind of proto-Pentecostal? Does the Holiness movement, whose seeds were planted in Methodist Perfectibility doctrine, lead by necessity to the Pentecostal revival in the early 20th century? In light of the history on our soil, how Wesley remained a loyal Anglican to his death is very interesting. In the 1970's the Anglican Church was part of the Charismatic renewal, as was the Roman Catholic. Calvinists remained untouched for the most part. A few got hit with the Spirit and had to rethink Cessationism.
Note the cross pollination from the Lutheran-Anabaptist-Pietist tradition into the Methodist branch via Wesley personally. And note how ultimately, the Methodists couldn't stay part of the Anglican-Episcopal tradition, except for the notable AME Church. Gotta dig into their history too. Because our AME brothers and sisters were able to avoid the Modernist heresies which plagued Mainline Protestantism in the late 19th century.
What influence does Methodism have on the American Revolution? How did Whitefield see the movement? How about Ben Franklin, Whitefield's personal friend? How about the slavery issue? Was Wesley in line with Whitefield, who personally owned slaves for his Georgia schooling scheme? What about Charles? Is he so soon forgotten? so many questions. Keep these videos coming.
Grew up in a Charismatic United Methodist Church: Trinity U.M.C. in Pickerington Ohio in the 80's. Truly strange and wonderful days! You guys should have Rev. Scott Kelso on to talk about those days and all The Lord did in that season. Pastor Scott retired after 30 plus years and still lives there in Pickerington
Thanks for this show, I was raised in a Methodist Church in my country. I love and admire John Wesley…but the UMC (In USA) it's very different, reason why I don't belong to the UMC now but still love the Methodist movement/bases. Keep it up guys.
I finished this video. And I'm like Arminian and believe people can fail salvation from this scripture I found Galatians 5:19-21 that when sinning that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians was Paul's teachings, proves it can fail eternal salvation. Grandpa believed he couldn't go to Hell, and Arminians believe he could.
I'm against suicide. I was depressed also to suicidal. I almost did suicide as a 5-Point Calvinist. And these scriptures got me more hope.
I became more Arminian now from these scriptures I posted on here. I believe people can fail salvation.
Loving God is wanting to be useful for him much. What if a person could do that much of his time? And I enjoy working from this. People who enjoy working. When it's more likely to be boring to non-Christians.
Mark 9:33-35
New American Standard Bible 1995
33 They came to Capernaum; and when He [a]was in the house, He began to question them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the way they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest. 35 Sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, [b]he shall be last of all and servant of all.”

This is for Christian world domination. Why to raise kids Christians. God Son Jesus said similarly to whoever is useful the most is the best merited of the apostles. Useful merit for eternal rewards and competition with other Christians. With God Son Lord Jesus Christ faith teaching, people will want to be useful for the kingdom of Heaven, which usefulness happens on Earth and if any other place. We need to help this world as much as we can!
This text could motivate, supposed to be Christian people, to do all types of usefulness. Chores, volunteering, grade school, high school, college, and work. Good people, this world needs them.
I lived in Austin in the '80's and what I know about the Methodists is the parking lot was full of Masonic stickers on the pickups and SUV's.

So I have heard that Wesley‘s wife could be quite abusive. I did hear that his marriage was not great.
Why is Michael hating? He should pray to feel what Wesley felt than he'd understand.
Thanx, Gentlemen 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much, loved it:)
I'll help you out.
