And that wasn't supposed to be a joke, I'm sorry if it came across that way. Spurgeon really, truly, DID. I immensely respect the doctrinal Methodists.

I am aware of Spurgeons background. I have several volumes of his sermons.

The "doctrinal Methodists" still exist--in many renewal groups, including IRD mentioned in this article.

Other groups include "Good News Magazine," the "Confessing Movement," and "The Taskforce of United Methodists on Abortion and Sexuality" (otherwise known as "Lifewatch").

If I knew how, I'd create links; check them out. They do still preach Christ crucified and risen. And they're working within the denomination to bring it back to its scriptural/Wesleyan roots. Slowly but surely, that's happening.

In the meantime, millions of Methodists continue to leave and go elsewhere.
