Just as creeds
such as the Apostles' Creed summarize the belief of all Christians,
the Articles of Religion of The Methodist Church and the Confessions
of Faith of The Evangelical United Brethren Church form a
foundation of doctrine for United Methodists. They, along
with Wesley's Sermons on Several Occasions and Explanatory
Notes Upon the New Testament, are "standards" of
doctrine for United Methodists.
