Methodist Christians believe in Jesus Christ as their personal savior. They believe in the faith as expressed by the Apostle's Creed. They promise to support the church. Beyond that there is great freedom for the members. Both Rush Limbaugh and Hillary Clinton are Methodists. Both Roman Catholic Priests and Southern Baptist Pastors have become Methodist Pastors. Both had no difficulty believing basic Christian Doctrines and being assigned to a particular parish by a Methodist Bishop.
