What year did John Wesley go to Oxford University?
John Wesley entered Christ Church College, Oxford in 1720 and received his Master of Arts in 1727.
What is the order of salvation in John Wesley's theology?
Original Sin is our state after the Fall, although we are all victims of Original Sin, there is no such thing as Natural Humanity because of Prevenient Grace, which is the work of the Holy Spirit that gives us the gracious ability to be able to choose between good and evil. According to Wesley, salvation from original sin begins with justification, the actual turn towards God. Justification restores us to God's favor, removes the guilt of sin, through the work of Christ on the cross and our acceptance of this. We are regenerated from sinners to saints, we are restored to God's image. This is also known as the Forgiveness and the New Birth. Sanctification is the continuation of Regeneration, this is the life long process of growing in grace and in Christian perfection. We can still sin after becoming a believer, sin remains but no longer reigns.

Was John Wesley a member of the Methodist denomination?
Actually, ironically Wesley never was a member of the Methodist denomination. He was an Anglican priest his whole life and he never left Anglicanism. He founded Methodism as a Bible study to go alongside Anglicanism but never as a new denomination. After he died his followers left Anglicanism and started the Methodist denomination.
AnswerJohn Wesley founded the Methodist movement in 1739. He was originally an Anglican like his father. A quick search of the internet can provide a number of very good biographical summaries of his life.
Answer:
The first one is correct. Methodism was not founded by John Wesley. It was founded by Christians in America based on the the teachings of John Wesley. This was done actually right before his death. The first he heard of the American church called Methodism was on his deathbed and he was saddened. Wesley remained an Anglican throughout his life. The term "methodist" was first used by other Oxford students to describe the bible study group that John and Charles formed. They were called "methodists" as an insult, because they were very methodical in their studies and practices. It was not a term coined by Wesley to describe a church he created. In the most basic form his theology was that we are saved by the Grace of God, and as such should do all the good we can in His name while on earth. His sermons are amazing to read.
John Wesley was born 17 June 1703, in Epworth, Lincolnshire, England.
John Wesley was not a puritan. When he was growing up and as he started his ministry he was a part of the Church of England. He left the church of England and founded the United Methodist Church.

One should be a member of a church if they feel that that specific church is the true church. While most churches have services and activities open to the public, they also offer special opportunities for those who are official members. Being a member will make you a part of the church family - if you have hard times the congregation should care for you by visiting, providing meals, etc. In turn you will be expected to help other members of the congregation.

What do people practice in Methodist churches?
PEOPLE PRAY WITH WORDS. WITHOUT WORDS THERE CAN NOT BE PRAYER. PEOPLE SOMETIMES HOLD SPECIFIC OBJECTS WHILE THEY PRAY, FOR REASONS OF COMFORT MOSTLY. THIS IS POPULAR IN THE CATHOLIC RELIGION. SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THESE OBJECTS ARE BLESSED AND CONTAIN CERTAIN POWERS. THE TRUTH IS IT WAS THE WORD THAT CAUSED THE BLESSING, AND THE BLESSING OR POWER IS RECEIVED BY FAITH IN THE WORD. IF YOU TRULY HAVE FAITH IN THE WORD THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANY OBJECTS. THERE IS NOT ANYTHING NEEDED FOR ANYONE TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO GOD EXCEPT THE WORD. ANYONE WHO CAN THINK OR SPEAK THE WORD CAN TALK TO GOD. TALKING TO GOD IS WHAT PRAYER IS. THIS BLESSING OF OBJECTS IS DONE TO HELP THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR NOTHING BUT THE WORD, AND TO HELP INCREASE THEIR FAITH. DO NOT MISTAKE ME FOR SAYING THOSE WHO USE OBJECTS ARE NECESSARILY WRONG. WHAT MATTERS MOST IS THE CONDITION OF THE HEART IN THE ONE WHO IS PRAYING. IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE READING, THEN YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED ALREADY, AND THERE WAS NO OBJECT NEEDED. THE WORD IS ALL YOU NEED, AND THE WORD IS GOD. JESUS IS THE WORD THAT BECAME FLESH, BECAUSE MAN DID NOT UNDERSTAND GOD. THIS IS WHY HE CAME AND SHOWED HIS SELF TO MAN. HE SAID THAT HE WAS THE WORD, AND WE WERE MADE IN HIS IMAGE. HE CAME TO SHOW MAN TO HIMSELF, AND TO SHOW GOD TO MAN.

What is the main difference in practice between Methodists Lutherans and Episcopalians?
The biggest difference among the 3 is style of worship. The Episcopal Church is a bridge between the Roman Catholic and Protestants. It is rich in tradition and rituals. The majority of Episcopal churches are "high church", meaning being formal and adhering to a liturgical practice. The United Methodists are a direct ofshoot of the Episcopal church and shares most of its beliefs and doctrine. Unlike the Episcopal church, the United Methodists have been more willing to adopt contemporary styles of worship, including praise bands and the like. You will find many UMC that are liturgical and are somewhat formal in their worship. The Lutherans are somewhat in the middle of the other 2. All three are sacramental, believe in the Apostolic Succession, and have ordained ministries. All 3 are in a formal communion with each other-allowing for shared preaching and celebrating the sacraments.
