But the doctrinally significant omissions are a sure mark of the apostasy of John Wesley. The homilies (35, 11), the Erastianism of articles 21 (“General councils may not be gathered together without the commandment and will of princes”) and 37 (the monarch’s “chief government” of “ecclesiastical or civil” affairs), and the English provenance of articles 35, 36 and 37, would hardly fit with the new American situation.
Christ’s descent into hell is not clearly explained in article 3. Key phrases are dropped, for example, the denial of “passions” to God (1) and the eternal generation of the Son, “begotten from everlasting of the Father” (2).Ī defence could at least be made of some of the other omissions. Article 18, “Of obtaining eternal salvation only by the name of Christ,” is gone, as is the second half of article 19, “Of the church,” which states that Rome has not only erred in ceremonies “but also in matters of faith.” The articles on ordination (36) and against lay preaching and lay administering of the sacraments (23) were omitted for obvious reasons.
More than half of the article on original sin (9) is removed, for it speaks of the inevitable conflict between the flesh and the Spirit. Gone is the confession of the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed (8), probably because of the “overconfident damnations” of the lost (p. 187).Ī further comparison of the Thirty-Nine Articles with Wesley’s American Methodist Articles of Religion (1784) - both found in Philip Schaff’s The Creeds of Christendom (vol.

Tomkins notes, He left out 15 of the Thirty-Nine Articles, extensively abridging the remainder. + Wesley’s heretical theology revealed itself very clearly in his (doctrinally significant) abridgement of the Thirty-Nine Articles for the American Methodists (1784). He was already teaching perfectionism in the “Holy Club” at Oxford University in 1733 (p.

Wesley’s doctrine of entire sanctification by the free will of man fits with his teaching of justification by the free will of man, though not with articles 9 and 15 of the Thirty-Nine Articles. Tomkins makes no reference to the controversial subject of Wesley’s denial of the imputed righteousness of Christ in justification. Briefly, Wesley dropped the formula that the conference had approved but “almost immediately afterwards” he printed a defence of the original minutes (p. At the 1770 Methodist Conference, Wesley’s doctrine of justification by free will led him to espouse an even more crude heresy: justification by works (pp. 71, 96, 171), contrary to articles 9, 15 and 17 of the Thirty-Nine Articles. With his faith in free will, not only predestination but also the doctrines of total depravity, particular atonement, irresistible grace and the perseverance of the saints had to go (pp. + Some heresies and errors of John Wesley JOHN WESLEY'S ATTACKS ON CLASSIC CHRISTIAN (CALVINISM) DOCTRINE - JUSTIFICATION, SANCTIFICATION, etc. Puritan Hard Drive Super Sale (for a limited time)
