The methodist church is a protestant church. They have protestant doctrines. But I don't know much about their baptism. Whether they believe in dunking in water or sprinkling. Baptists believe a person must reach the age of accountability before being dunked in water. I don't know whether methodists do sprinkling on babies. * +

His younger brother Charles was instrumental in writing much of the hymnody of the Methodist Church.(6) George Whitefield, another significant leader in the movement, was known for his unorthodox ministry of itinerant open-air preaching.(7) The Methodist Church is known for its missionary work,(8) and its establishment of hospitals, universities, orphanages, soup kitchens, and schools to follow Jesus' command to spread the Good News and serve all people. * +

Wesley, along with his brother founded the Holy Club while they were at Oxford, where John was a fellow and later a lecturer at Lincoln College.(10) The holy club met weekly and they systematically set about living a holy life.

Initially Whitefield and the Wesleys merely sought reform, by way of a return to the gospel, within the Church of England, but the movement spread with revival and soon a significant number of Anglican clergy became known as Methodists in the mid-18th century.(11) The movement did not form a separate denomination in England until after John Wesley's death in 1791. * +

Although Wesley and the majority of his followers were decidedly Arminian in their theological outlook, George Whitefield, Howell Harris,(12) and Selina Hastings (the Countess of Huntingdon) were notable for being Calvinistic Methodists. * +

The influence of Whitefield and Lady Huntingdon on the Church of England was a factor in the founding of the Free Church of England in 1844. Through vigorous missionary activity Methodism spread throughout the British Empire and, mostly through Whitefield's preaching during what historians call the First Great Awakening, colonial America. After Whitefield's death in 1770, however, American Methodism entered a more lasting Wesleyan and Arminian phase of development. * +
