How are you doing, Friend?
Salvation is by faith alone both before and after God causes a person
to become born again. There is nothing within a person that God counts
as righteousness before being saved. After a person is saved, there is
only the work of Jesus Christ that keeps the person saved.
J.H. Oliphant, in Chapter 16 of his book, shows that although
Methodists, as a people, do teach the possibility of apostasy, their
published confession of faith denies the doctrine of apostasy. He
contrasts Articles 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 of their formal theology with
their everyday practical theology.
