    Correction: One of the current bishops, Bishop Linda Adams, was chosen at the most recent General Conference. She is the first female bishop (and a wonderful person!).

      @@imapotato1492nothing wrong with Lutherans as long as they are Missouri Synod. Also, I found at least one thing false in FMC’s doctrine: abortion. They said abortion is murder, as God said in His command, EXCEPT. Except. Think about that, “except”. Except termination of a child to save a mother’s life. That is still against the Ten Commandments.

    Thank you so much for this video on the Free Methodist church. I am a retired United Methodist clergy. I wish that I could have found the Free Methodist Church when I was a younger minister it would have been the kind of church that I would have loved to have been a pastor and to be a part of. It is completely in line with what I believe. Thank you again for this video.

      They wish to get away from a denomination that owns property. And I don’t believe there will be bishops in the GMC. There have been issues with UMC bishops not upholding the BoD, as they vowed to do. I believe those are the major sticking points for those starting the GMC. Personally, I really like the Free Methodist church. My parents joined one when they moved to a small town several years ago, and that church is thriving. Lots of young people, families, and packed worship services. It also has more diversity than some of the liberal churches in a nearby city.

    So difficult to follow due to the speakers lack of respect for listeners and his inability to pause in speech. A hasty but informative run through of many aspects of the Free Methodists. Very little emphasis on the place and priority of God's Word, Mentions,Yes, but only in passing. Seeing that noone reads these comments I wont bother going on.

      @zelenisok 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That's what you comment on, lol. Which is epecially ironic because Jesus spent a lot of his ministry preaching and showing that injustice (and thus privilege and disprivilege) exists, being that we live in a corrupted world, where some are well off and some are excluded and/or suffering. That is why he spoke up for and stood with the poor, lepers, disabled people, Samaritans, pagans, foreigners, prisoners, women, eunuchs, prostitutes, etc, ie those who were socially excluded, rejected, victims of prejudice and bigotry, marginalized, oppressed, and disprivileged in the community he was in.

      My sentiment exactly. White privilege and racial justice are just signs of communism overtaken the Methodist Church. People that have eyes may want to move to a different denomination that is more steadfast on scripture, instead of the trend of the times.
      I am saddened to see the Methodist Church failing to follow the most basic foundations of Christian life.
      Godspeed!
