I’m a calminian Methodist.

Mostly, though, I’m just a Christian who thinks God keeps His promises. If God says that a John 3:16 kind of faith leads to a John 3:16 kind of eternity, then I believe Him.

You do have to go through an obedient life as He instructs with grace and mercy being your constant need, but He is with you on the journey supplying your need.

Methodist Wesley was big on loss of salvation. Methodist Whitfield was not. Wesley dealt with God’s promises by his belief that God can give assurance of salvation by growing you to the point that you will not fall. Whitfield was a Calvinist and dealt with it by saying that God will not permit true believers to fail. I’m more on Whitfield’s side, but we too often forget that it’s not slam/bam, but that there’s a life of scores of years sometimes to be lived with all its ups and downs.

In all that God is faithful to keep His promises.
