Hi! You’ve reached WesleyGospel.com. After years of soul searching, I came to mainly identify myself with John Wesley’s theology. I guess you could call me a ninety percent Wesleyan. When I was a teenager I experienced the baptism in the Holy Spirit many times; and when I was in college, and not long afterwards, I had several experiences of the “fire of love” described by Richard Rolle: the same experience Wesley had on Aldersgate Street, when he said, “I felt my heart strangely warmed.” I think that both my openness and hunger to experience the paranormal after I gave my life to Christ prepared me for this. I believe that the purpose of these moments I had with the Spirit, were to confirm and strengthen my faith in the Biblical Gospel, beyond my simple decision to live by faith (Mark 16:20). I don’t agree with all of Wesley’s theological views: entire sanctification being a major one. I agree with the Reformed view of sanctification. But Wesley’s still my number one theology hero, next to many others. I don’t idolize Wesley, nor do I choose him instead of Christ, as some were apparently doing in the early church with Paul. In my view, Wesley is part of the same body of Christ that Calvin and Spurgeon are. But in these times of New Calvinism, I feel a need for there to be more of a thoughtful Arminian presence online.
WesleyGospel.com comes from the perspective of lordship salvation and classical Pentecostalism. It’s my personal belief that the majority of evangelicals have lost sight of both Puritan and Wesleyan theological influences, because of the seeker-sensitive movement. My purpose in creating this blog, was to make a theological outlet for expressing my faith, without such controls. One of the strangest objections I’ve ever heard, is that Christians shouldn’t use things like WordPress and YouTube, because it is nothing other than “self-promotion.” That all evangelism amounts to nothing more than, “Hey you guys! Look at me! Look at how amazing I am!” But I think its only jealous and competitive people who say such things, especially because they are not being consistent with what they are doing. Such a concept assumes a degree of vanity: meaningless rambling, and endless talking about superficial things; as well as other theologically shallow, morally bland, and spiritually vague subjects. Meanwhile, they still attend a church, and listen to the sermons of other preachers, and read the books of other preachers. My only answer to such statements is to look at the Great Commission. What does it say? “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation!” (Mark 16:15). It seems to me that either a publishing ministry or an itinerant evangelistic ministry could accomplish that. Not to do anything along these lines is to ignore the command of Christ and his call to good works. With all the secular and heretical voices, out there in the media, we need as many Bible-believing voices available. This is why I write articles, post videos, and publish free e-books on this site for the encouragement of the body of Christ. My e-books include…
