What United Methodist Church teaches

Positions bound by the denomination's confessional standards. This is what the tradition teaches; whether this specific congregation publicly holds each is a separate question — see Statements below.

Affirms
Denies
  • Assumption of Maryweak
    Universal Protestant rejection — not attested in Scripture; not received as dogma.
  • Immaculate Conceptionstandard
    Universal Protestant + Orthodox rejection. Orthodox reject on the grounds that they hold prepurification at the Annunciation, not conception.
  • Marriage as one man and one womanweak
    PC(USA) 2015; ELCA 2009; TEC 2015; UMC 2024. Same-sex marriage authorized in polity.
  • Perpetual Virginity of Maryweak
    Natural reading of Matthew 13:55–56 (brothers of Jesus); typical modern Baptist / evangelical position.
  • Transubstantiationstandard
    Orthodox reject the Aristotelian metaphysics; Lutherans use 'sacramental union'; 39 Articles Art. XXVIII rejects explicitly; Reformed/Baptist reject substance-change.
Wrestles with
  • Apostolic Successionweak
    Lutheran and Methodist bodies retain 'succession of doctrine' language without the tactile chain.
  • Believer's Baptismweak
    Paedobaptist bodies practice adult baptism on credible profession where infant baptism was omitted, but do not consider it normative.
  • Pacifism vs. just-warweak
    Default just-war framework — usually unwritten. Inheriting at weak confidence.
  • Real Presenceweak
    Calvin's spiritual presence (genuinely present but not physically) is neither strong affirm nor deny; Anglican/Methodist typically hold a receptionist view.
  • Theotokosweak
    Confessionally valid title (Ephesus is a received council) but not used devotionally; retained in liturgy where liturgy is retained.
