One of the things I do admire about Methodists is the personal life of John Wesley. Except for the hopley affair, it was above reproach.

I didn't read up much on Methodism until the thread where the Calvinists saying " Wesley preached the Gospel of Satan." where I was puzzled by their hatred for Methodists. And going by the logic that what they hate has got to have merit :-P (like their hatred of pentecostals), I read up a bit ("a bit")

His belief in the Real Presence was highlighted.

I also believe in the Real Presence, albeit the greater Reality is Spiritual. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and in Truth.

Some, not understanding what they know from scripture, misunderstand “spirtual” to be the equivalent of “symbolic.” The truly sad thing about that is their total lack of understanding regarding the spiritual.

Jesus said, “My words are Spirit, and they are life.”

Foolish humans think that reality is only this realm in which we reside.
