“Methodists” and the use of the “Protestant” word.
You are simply acknowledging the morphing of the word ‘protestant’ to cover all non-Catholic denominations.
That is in error.
Methodists are not one of the protesting groups that brought about the Reformation. In fact, they didn’t exist for 200 years after that in any form whatsoever.
As I’ve already stated, they exist mostly because of protest directed and King George by the American colonies. I guess we could add that Wesley’s little charismatic-type movement within Anglicanism in 1700’s England was also a protest against the deadness of that particular church.

No, xzins, two of those links in my post #2604 are to major Methodist links, maintained by Methodists. If you disagree with them, you are disagreeing with Methodists (including the largest Methodist organization in the United States, the "United Methodist Church" on their main web site). If anyone is in error about that, it is those Methodists (but they are not in error about that -- they are actually correct).
