(13)Methodist Church
John Wesley did not begin
the Methodist Church, but he laid the foundation for it.
They are governed by the Methodist Book Of Discipline.
They teach that baptism is not essential to salvation.
Their Discipline, Article 9 says, “Justification of faith only is
a most wholesome doctrine and very full of comfort”.
But this contradicts what the Bible says in James 2:24, 26.
Their “baptism” is usually sprinkling, but this contradicts what the
Bible says in John 3:23, Acts 8:38-39, Romans 6:4. They "baptize" (sprinkle) infants but this contradicts what the Bible says in Mark 16:16, Acts 8:36-37 since infants cannot believe.
Only after 6 months probation is one admitted to full membership of
the Methodist Church (Article 49). They are also governed by the Methodist General Conference which meets every 4 years to
determine what they are to believe and practice.

Article IX—Of the Justification of ManWe are accounted righteous before God only for the merit of our Lord andSaviour Jesus Christ, by faith, and not for our own works or deservings.Wherefore, that we are justified by faith only, is a most wholesome doctrine, andvery full of comfort.
Article XVII—Of BaptismBaptism is not only a sign of profession and mark of difference wherebyChristians are distinguished from others that are not baptized; but it is also a signof regeneration or the new birth. The Baptism of young children is to be retainedin the Church.
Question: Is sprinkling the only way that United Methodists baptize?
Answer: No, our church has always offered to people being baptized and to theparents of infants the choice of sprinkling, pouring, or immersion.Quotes copied & pasted from: http://fumcwf.org/archives/2495IS BAPTISM REQUIRED FOR SALVATION?
