Sorry, that does not fully compute for reasons already explained to you, but which you are now apparently studiously avoiding.
Is it that important to have something to 'bash' the principle of sola scriptura with? How shallow can you get? (nevermind myself having just asked that, I can readily enough see just how shallow the argumentative of Romanists most often truly is!)
Once they step that much away from following the Word of God, they can no longer be properly identified as a 'sola scriptura church', if they ever truly were...for Methodists, along with most other Christian denominations of any size, are not without tradition to help guide them, yet these individuals have turned aside from that also.
Besides, there are others within the Methodist Church who are in disagreement with these handful of liberal losers, featured in the article at the heading of this thread.
The Church of Rome has it's dissidents, including priests also --- which condition is said to not invalidate the claims of "all believing the same" and being a 'sola ecclesia' church, even though it is clear evidence of not all sharing the same identical beliefs, etc...
The non-Catholics on this forum continuously tell the Catholics that we "worship Mary, idols , cookies etc..." .
The sword cuts both ways. Sola Scriptura has resulted in the murder of Babies.
