>>What happened to the PCUSA will happen to the UMC. A conservative version will start up and churches will begin to cross over.

In this day, I don’t think that a conservative non-confessing denomination can exist in America with Arminian theology. The angst over the ability to lose one’s salvation opens too many doors for the SJWs to get in and disrupt. The lack of the insistence to follow a written Confession of Faith opens too many doors for reinterpretation of scripture. The Methodists on the Left like to remind us that God’s word is being continually rewritten for each generation.

Individual churches that are both conservative and Arminian can exist, but a nationwide denomination will fall every time.

You cannot “lose” your Salvation but you can surrender it. It’s a conscious act. Paul talks about it quite a bit in Hebrews. I don’t see it as a sticking point.
