“We Wesleyan/Methodist evangelicals are a strange lot. We insist on a few theological emphases that set us apart in the evangelical world. We are bold to claim that God will make us perfect in love, sanctifying us entirely. We reject individual predestination to heaven or hell. We ordain women to all levels of church leadership. We are both creedal and committed to the primacy and authority of Scripture. We have Anglican, Pietist, Augustinian, holiness, Pentecostal, and revivalist strands running all through us. We’re theological mutts. But to quote Bill Murray, “There’s no animal that’s more faithful, that’s more loyal, more lovable than the mutt.”
David Watson, “Evangelicalism Reconsidered”
And why you should be a Wesleyan
