A long time ago, when Wesley and Whitefield worked together, there was a Calvinist branch and an Arminian branch. The Arminians and Calvinists split, and the Calvinists joined with another Calvinist group.
When I was little, my family attended UMC. Not once do I ever recollect someone explaining the gospel to me. My parents did not, either, and they were both seminary trained. Not everyone who attends church knows/believes the gospel.
In 2007, I visited a local UMC. The choir director was gay and attended with his gay lover. People are generally religious. Religious does not equal "saved." If Apostle Paul were here, he would kick out the gays and tell them to come back when they became "saved."
