A)      Articles of Religion
  • Article 17—Of Baptism.  Baptism is not only a sign of profession and mark of difference whereby Christians are distinguished from others that are  not baptized; but it is also a sign of regeneration or the new birth. The Baptism of young children is to be retained in the  Church. 
  • The 25  Articles of Religion  were written by John Wesley for the Discipline  of 1808.  According to Mark Edwards recently, "you cannot be a Methodist without believing them all”
