II)
Article 6—Of the Old Testament
o
The Old Testament is not contrary to the New; for
both in the Old and New Testament everlasting life is offered to mankind by
Christ, who is the only Mediator between God and man, being both God and Man.
Wherefore they are not to be heard who feign that the old fathers did look only
for transitory promises. Although the law given from God by Moses as touching
ceremonies and rites doth not bind Christians, nor ought the civil precepts
thereof of necessity be received in any commonwealth; yet notwithstanding, no
Christian whatsoever is free from the obedience of the commandments which are
called moral.
The 25 Articles of
Religion were written by John
Wesley for the Discipline of
1808. According to Mark Edwards
recently, they are what every Methodist believes and "you cannot be a
Methodist without believing them all.
