If you believe that John Wesley and his brother hold the key to eternal salvation, then you choose the Church that they founded in the eighteenth century: the Methodist Church. If you believe that the Son of God, Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, holds the keys to salvation, then you choose the Church that He founded on St. Peter in the first century - the Catholic Church.
They decorate it to do with the people that go there, but they will do what they choose to and all of the Methodist churches are independent in how they decorate it. Hope this helps!

Methodists proclaim in every service to recognize the Catholic Church. Pentacostals believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit among them...speaking in tongues and prophesy. The "day of Pentacost" refers to the "Upper Room" which Christians believe was a special enlightment.
The Methodist perspective on original sin is that all humans inherit a tendency to sin from Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. However, Methodist theology emphasizes that individuals have the ability to choose between good and evil and can be redeemed through faith in Jesus Christ.

The question, as written, doesn't make sense. Adolf Hitler was raised Catholic, how good a one is open to argument. When he grew up, he rejected the Catholic Church, and showed openly, and often, his hatred for the Church. Hitler and the Third Reich were openly at odds with the Church and fought with them on many occasions, eventually closing Churches, and sending innumerable Catholics to the gas chambers.
Both the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME) and the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (CME) are two predominantly black Christian denominations within the Wesleyan / Methodist family of churches, both of which share similar theological beliefs as the rest. The primary difference between the two denominations is how they came to exist as separate Christian denominations. The AME was originally a single congregation of black Methodists who originally attended services of the white-dominated St. George's Methodist Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, PA. This single congregation was known as Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church with Rev. Richard Allen as their pastor. It took lawsuits against St. George's Methodist Episcopal Church in order for them to gain recognition as a completely independent congregation with all the rights and previleges associated with self-governance, including the ability to choose their own ministers and bishops and ownership of church property. Several other black Methodists from the Mid-Atlantic states met with Rev. Richard Allen in Philadelphia and resolved in 1816 to establish the African Methodist Episcopal Church as the first black Christian denomination. The AME remained primarily a northern states church until after the end of the Civil War opened up the opportunity for rapid expansion throughout the former slave states of the South. The CME was originally established as the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in 1870. They were established in response to the rapid departure of southern black Methodists from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (later known as United Methodist Church) in favor of the AME Church and the AME Zion Church (which also separated from the northern MEC and was officially established in 1821). The CME was established with the full support and assistance of the white-dominated Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Several difficulties experienced was associated with the appearance of being a subordinate church to the MEC, South although technically they were completely autonomous from each other. They were seen as an attempt by the white-dominated MEC, South to keep black Methodists from joining northern-based Methodist churches that many felt truly championed freedom for blacks. In recent years, there had been negotiations over the possible merger of CME Church with AME Zion Church; however, such a merger has not taken place. This denomination adopted Christian Methodist Episcopal Church as its official church name in 1954.
