No different than the Ameican Baptist vs. Southern Baptist, Presbyterian Church USA vs. Presbyterian Church in America, and Evangelical Lutheran Church in America vs. Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, with in all cases the liberal heretics in the former and the Biblically orthodox in the latter. The amazing thing is not that it is happening with the Methodists, but that it didn't happen 40 years ago, the same time Situation Ethics and Liberation Theology combined to bring heresy to the churches.
Time for the old Emo Philips denominational joke:
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”
He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”
Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.
