Hmmm! From the little I've read of both Calvin and Wesley, I'd say that Wesley denied Total Depravity (or man's total want to not repent), Regeneration as an act prior to man's confession of Christ with His lips, and that Salvation was fully (I'd say solely) of God.

No Wesley believed man was totally unable to respond to God because of the sin of Adam..He saw that it was necessary for God to intervene with His Grace if man were ever to hear and respond to the gospel. The difference in the theologies is IMHO primarily on the type and manner of grace

As Winston said Wesleyans see the grace as a general gift giving all men the ability hear the gospel and then choose if they will respond to God ( a resistible grace)....but Wesleyans will tell you that outside of that grace there is NO way a man could hear and respond

I have some literature Wesleyan literature that refers to man's fallen state as depravity,and some were it is call total depravity..

So, was this prevenient grace applied at birth, or later in life?
