Why do you point out Wesleyans? RnMomof7 is a Presbyterian, OPC

One of the posters being addressed had been told to leave the thread by the religion moderator and has started a thread (to which I linked) absolutely excoriating Wesleyanism. So it seemed to me if Wesleyan doctrine is "satanic" (not my words btw) that the idea of Protestant unity on essentials is a myth.

Dissenting Catholics are lumped in with faithful Catholics and we get "see, Catholics have no unity of belief but Protestants agree on Biblical doctrines". Faithful Catholics are in agreement with what the Church teaches though but "Faithful Wesleyans" and "Faithful Calvinists" aren't in agreement on free will and predestination (at least). So my question was "are Wesleyans not actually Protestants"... since I gather from what I'm seeing in that other thread that they're almost as scummy as Catholics.

Aha -- just caught up with that (I'm 6 hours ahead of you, but a day behind :-P)

Well, it's not surprising that you would reject this particular aspect of Wesley's free-will teachings. Free-Willer Theology certainly gets more repugnant to the Christian, the better one understands its inherently-Satanic nature. There is no Protestant unity on essentials or anything except that they are not Catholic.

Wesleyans, Lutherans, Calvinists, Anglicans all believe in different things.

And You're right -- the Calvinists' seem to hate Arminians

Incidently, Dr. E -- I don't see anywhere in Arminius' bio that he visited Rome -- where did you get that?
