I am a methodist elder and Wesley was wrong to call calvinism a plague. He acknowledged as much in his final reconciliation with George Whitfield.

Wesley and other remonstrants really hadn’t considered the implications of absolute foreknowledge, and arminians still do not. I believe they’ve misunderstood Arminius. Perhaps Arminius misunderstood the implications of absolute foreknowledge.

You can't argue that Wesley didn't believe Calvinism to be wrong theologically? Again, I tend to agree with Wesley that a God of Love can't be a Calvinist. Because any God that picks and chooses who lives and who dies is not a God deserving of worship.
