I agree. This article does not show accuracy. Methodists do not believe that works lead to salvation but that salvation comes through grace. Good works are result of trust and faith in God and recognition of his goodwill for all people. Methodists use Book of Worship and its governing book is the Book of Discipline.
I am just now learning about the Presbysterian Church but I do know they have a psalter. Apparently somebody did not do a good job of research in this article.
Hi there. So there is also a Book of Discipline in various Presbyterian denominations. Ok to the author of this article I also have a few points. Have been baptized in the Methodist Church and later Confirmed in the Presbyterian Church some things that you posted are not just so. That above statement is not correct. John Wesley and his brothers had beliefs tied with the Anglicans, for they were Anglican Priests.
So their beliefs were not based on Lutheranism, in fact some things that Lutherans do hold onto are not adhered by Methodists. Outside of the Office of Bishop which is similar to what Presbyterians have as Presbyters.. So I would say there is more in common than opposed. So much so that many Methodist and Presbyterians, when they do not find their proper church in town will go to the other one. I would say they are about the closes to each other and next the United Church of Christ and then the Low Anglicans and finally the Lutherans.
Thank you for correcting this article. I was confused while reading amd you ironed out the wrinkles so thank you.
The United Methodist Church believes in salvation by grace through faith. We believe that salvation is a gift of God. That is actually saying the same thing. The UMC believes that grace is indeed a gift from God, but like any gift, one must accept it.
Thus one accepts the free gift through faith that it is indeed available for their acceptance. Good article. I have to make one, minor correction though. The UMC utilizes 2 books. There is also The Book of Discipline, which is a separate device. The Book of Discipline mainly guides the more political side of church — whether local or the greater body how to set up committees, how the committees function, how Charge Conference works, policies, beliefs, etc.
The Book of Worship details theological worship elements, worship tradition, seasonal decor and its symbolic meaning, as well as guides to services such as weddings, baptisms, funerals, etc.
I highly recommend checking out umcdiscipleship. The faithful will do good works because of their faith. The works come because we have been blessed not as prepayment for salvation. BRAD2 not sure where you got that info on Presbyterians not believing its a gift. Thank God. You guys got it right! This is from Larry Jones a black man simply love all churches of God in Christ. I have moved to an area where no such church exists. What denomination is closest to my upbringing…Presbyterian or UMC?
