Q: [What is the difference between the Methodist church and the "Free" Methodist church? ]
A: ["In a nutshell, the Free Methodist church differs from the United Methodist church in that it continues to provide a more uniform expression consistent with historic Methodism.
Both the United Methodist Church (commonly referred
to as Methodist) and the Free Methodist Church share a common
heritage, hearkening back to the Wesleyan revival in England during
the middle 1700s.
However, by the middle 1800s concern arose over the waning of
several key expressions of the Wesleyan revival. So the Free
Methodist Church began as an attempt to restore those vital
"Wesleyan" convictions, such as the doctrine of entire
sanctification, the concern for the poor, the vision to end
discrimination and racism, and Christian growth through small
groups.
Since that time the Free Methodist church has proven itself capable of preserving a sound commitment to classic conservative Christian doctrines such as the infallibility of scripture, salvation by faith, and the deity of Jesus Christ."]
