The founder of Methodism, John Wesley held that The essentials of the faith are changeless. He shared this quote from St. Augustine which sums this all up pretty well: “In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity.” Our founder held that there is a core, essentials of the faith that all believers hold in common. These essentials are pretty well outlined in the historic creeds, the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. Jude was writing to the church to exhort them to stay on track with the essentials and not be led astray by false teachers and teachings within the church.
