· All Doctrine therefore stems from this chief teaching of the scriptures. All teachings are seen in light of our salvation.
UMC
Theological Emphasis
· The emphasis of Methodism is on the perfected man. Man can mature in faith so much that he is able to love God and neighbor perfectly. He can sin no more.
