Woman preachers in Methodism: John Wesley's mother was a woman preacher. Quotes are about that say things like this: "Because of the rapid expansion of the Methodist movement, Wesley found a necessity to employ lay preachers as well as exceptional women preachers – such as Sarah Crosby, Cross Hall, Ann Ford and Mary Bosanquet.[3]"
1-3) All Christians subject themselves to one of four authority traditions under the Son of the Living God: Catholic/Eastern Orthodox, High Protestantism (Anglican/Lutheran, etc.,) American Christianity (Reformed, Non-Denominational, Evangelical), or their own private Opinion. Of all these "churches," only the Catholic Church has the spiritual and historical commission back to the Apostles and Jesus Christ. Private Opinion is condemned in 2nd Peter, and thus as an Athiest would say, you are a product of your religious environment.
2) The Bible and Infallible Judgement. It is a historical fact the official closed canon of Scripture came in the second half of the 4th Century (Councils of Hippo, Carthage, Rome.) If you grant Scripture is "the infallible" word of God, you must give the Church Bishops "infallible judgment" by the Holy Spirit that picked the specific books of the canon. You cannot have one without the other. If you reject the 73 book closed canon based upon the argument of Martin Luther, then you are rejecting a closed canon of nearly 1100 years. If you accept any non-Catholic translation such as the King James Version, you still must grand the men who compiled that translation infallible judgment, which directly refutes the Protestant Position. Secondly, what Bible translation do you use, and is it a good translation? An excellent argument for an English translation is the King James Version (but not 1611); however, the Douay Rheims is a better version translated over 41-42 years. Thus what version do you give authority to, and why, and do you grant "infallible" judgment to the translators. If you don't, then your translation is not safe.
3) The 60-second Position of the Church for Salvation is a confession of belief and baptism, then love the Lord Jesus and keep his commandments: (Acts 8: "Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached unto him, Jesus. [36] And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized? [37] And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. [38] And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him. [39] And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more." "If you love me, keep my commandments."
Was THIS written for ALL Christians for ALL TIME: "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities?" You have to take into account to whom the epistle was written.
please review the ministry of william Braham from Jeffersonville Indiana, my family has been following the ministry my sister recently turn far away from God wanting nothing to do with Jesus christ it hurts my heart because I was following blinding I love christ 💔 but the ministry I need help I've prayed over this for years and talked to pastors but Noone seems to know if Any answers was he a profit of the age ? did he reveal the seventh seal ? please make video review 🙏 it will help my soul any many who are stuck and wrestling with the ministry. God bless you . 🙏
Thank you Pastor Robinson for that sermon. I have often wondered the same thing.Why do a lot of these independent fundamental Baptist preachers support a guy that believed you can lose your salvation. That’s not a minor disagreement. That’s something to completely separate and forsake someone over.
Thank you Brother good job and what a blessing. You answered many questions I was looking for in one sermon. Why would any church put a man on a pedestal to begin with – is what is written in the Holy Bible not good enough? Of course it is! False doctrine, wolves in sheep clothing and likely done deliberately to divide and weaken the true church – the gates of hell will not prevail but they will try – we need more straight forward preaching like this exposing false doctrine – thank you!
Every time a so-called Christian revival was called a “Great Awakening” you’ll only find harlot Churches popping up. The most recent Great Awakening was actually fully New Age too. Methodism was the big player in the first Great Awakening…. I was raised a Free Methodist along with going to a Lutheran school, but I didn’t get saved until I was 33 years old. Simply put, I was raised with the wrong Jesus. I had to come at the gospels like a child who knew nothing so I could finally truly hear what was being said for the first time. All it took was trusting Jesus and I was saved and received the Holy Spirit, “the method” be damned!
The Bible has never taught that a Christian cannot go to Hell. We can never ever "lose our Salvation", but per the Holy Spirit, we can forfeit it. To say otherwise is calling GOD Almighty a liar.
Hebrews 12:15-17 KJHB Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; [16] Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. [17] For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Hebrews 6:4-6 KJHB For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, [5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, [6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Hebrews 10:26-27 KJHB For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, [27] But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
What is the United Methodist Church, and what do Methodists believe? The United Methodist Church is the largest American mainline denomination, with nearly 12 million members in 42,000 congregations worldwide. The United Methodist Church is a participating member of the World Council of Churches and the National Council of Churches and is one of the leading proponents of ecumenism today. The church was formed in 1968 with a merger of the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Methodist Church, but its roots go back to England in the 1730s.
John and Charles Wesley were missionaries in the Church of England and had returned home after an unsuccessful mission in the colony of Georgia. They were disillusioned and discouraged with their own faith and began attending prayer meetings on Aldersgate Street in London, searching for answers. In 1738, both brothers had revival experiences, which John described as being “strangely warmed” in the heart. With this newfound excitement and energy in spiritual matters, they and their Aldersgate companions began to develop guidelines, or “methods,” in seeking spiritual renewal. This led to a national renewal movement within the Church of England. This revival was then brought to America by colonists. The early Methodist movement in America was mostly led by laypeople in the 1760s and was still within the communion of the Anglican Church. In 1769 and 1771, John Wesley sent preachers, including Francis Asbury, to the Colonies to help strengthen and guide the Methodist efforts. During the Revolutionary War, the Methodists were an unpopular lot due to John Wesley’s Tory stance and the unwillingness of many Methodist preachers to take up arms in support of the Colonies. Following the Revolution, Wesley saw the need to develop a distinctly American church communion, and the Methodist Episcopal Church in America was formed in Baltimore in 1784.
From the very start, the Methodists were concerned with personal holiness and emphasized the need for an experience of salvation. To that end, they were involved in the earliest Sunday schools, and the first church publishing house in America was formed by the Methodists in 1789. The Methodists were an integral part of the Second Great Awakening (1790—1840) and made use of revival meetings and camp meetings to call people to conversion. The concept of circuit-riding preachers was developed by the Methodists—a preacher would travel from settlement to settlement, preaching and serving the people there until there was a large enough body to call a full-time pastor. Circuit riders were a big part of the frontier church in the new country.
The Methodist Episcopal Church had its share of rifts, even in the early years. In 1816 the African Methodist Episcopal Church was formed by Richard Allen, an emancipated slave who had been mistreated in the established church. In 1821 the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was formed by former slaves for similar reasons. In 1830 the Methodist Protestant Church was formed because the church would not grant representation of the laity or permit the election of presiding elders (this rift was reconciled with a merger in 1939). Today, the main struggles within the United Methodist Church regard the place of homosexuals within the church. Historically, the church has always condemned homosexual practice as sin, and that is still the official position of the church. There is a liberal movement within the church to grant full communion to practicing homosexuals and even to ordain homosexual clergy. The division resulted in a split of the denomination, with many conservative Methodists disaffiliating and forming the Global Methodist Church
Regarding doctrine, the Methodist Church follows general Wesleyan theology. Belief in the sinfulness of man, the holiness of God, the deity of Jesus Christ, and the literal death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for the salvation of man are held in common with other Christian churches. Belief in the inerrancy of Scripture is low among Methodists, although they affirm the authority of the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16).
Though there are individual members and Methodist congregations who are more conservative, many have given in to pragmatism, liberalism, or political correctness: the United Methodist Church ordains women pastors, for example, and supports abortion (the church is, according to the Methodist Book of Discipline, “reluctant to approve abortion,” yet in practice it approves all forms of abortion; plus, the United Methodist Church was a founding member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, a pro-abortion group).
[14] For Christ’s love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If One died for all, then all died. [15] And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised.
You may want to study more throughly on John Wesley. You have missed on every aspect of John Wesley teachings. I pray for you because you are teaching false truths.
Thank you pastor I wish you could come to central Baptist church in New York City and talk to Pastor Robert Casteline about John Westley cuz he thinks he’s great preacher so many other believers born again believers believe he was a false prophet a false preacher who also randomly opened his Bible and use it like a Ouija board. He was into all kinds of weird, charismatic stuff can’t believe Southern Baptist, and some Baptist look up to him as a great man of God, who was preaching sound doctrine. He’s definitely a false teacher I agree with you.

"If you love me, keep my commandments."
We were taught that Predestination and Eternal Security are heresies. I guess we'll all go to hell.
Women Preachers = HELL.
You have an unloving spirit.
Did you really say "God is a man?" Do you get your theology from "Family Guy?"
Was THIS written for ALL Christians for ALL TIME: "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities?" You have to take into account to whom the epistle was written.
I'm glad you are not MY pastor. Who is supposed to benefit from THIS sermon? You have an unloving spirit.
So Wesley didn't believe in "Eternal Security," therefore he wasn't even saved!!!
"Shall be a Castaway" means "not effective to preach the Gospel to others?" You just totally pulled THAT out of your butt.
What's hilarious are your desperate "explanations" for any scripture you don't agree with. You have an unloving spirit.
Even if Wesley's Theology was wrong, THAT doesn't mean he wasn't saved. Your unloving spirit, though……
You REALLY preached a whole sermon on John Wesley was not saved? WHO is supposed to benefit from this?
please review the ministry of william Braham from Jeffersonville Indiana, my family has been following the ministry my sister recently turn far away from God wanting nothing to do with Jesus christ it hurts my heart because I was following blinding I love christ 💔 but the ministry I need help I've prayed over this for years and talked to pastors but Noone seems to know if Any answers was he a profit of the age ?
did he reveal the seventh seal ?

Amen, well detailed sermon!
Nope! You're saved by faith alone, BUT IF YOU DON'T BEAR THE FRUIT OF A CHRISTIAN, YOUR FAITH IS DEAD.
Thank you Brother good job and what a blessing. You answered many questions I was looking for in one sermon.

GOD Bless! ❤️
Faith produces works? Oh like in the Epistle of James.
Thank you for talking about this, Pastor.
😂 Ridiculous. And I’m not Methodist.
John Wesley taught faith without works. You remind me of CNN fake news.

I can't get past John 15:6.
Please explain John 15:6 then.

[6] If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
