Methodism

Methodism is a Protestant denomination that emerged in the 18th century through the efforts of John and Charles Wesley. Methodism emphasises personal holiness, salvation through faith, and the importance of good works, following an anti-Calvinist Arminian theology, particularly its belief in free will and the possibility of falling from grace. While it shares core Protestant beliefs, Methodism places a strong emphasis on experiential faith and sanctification, which distinguishes it from more Reformed traditions that stress God's sovereign grace and the perseverance of the saints.
