We have read everything that has come from and about the "Confessional Movement" and have concluded:
1. The United Methodist Church is not a "Confessional" church as the "Confessional Movement" would redefine us.
2. The materials of the "Confessional Movement" convey an arrogance and narrowness of faith.
3. If the "Confessional Movement's" agenda is accepted, it would promote heresy hunting.
4. This confessional theology violates the spirit of the Wesleys (among other things).
