The field was pioneered by staff of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of American Ethnology, men such as John Wesley Powell and Frank Hamilton Cushing.

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, believed in an intermediate state between death and the resurrection of the dead and in the possibility of " continuing to grow in holiness there ", but Methodism does not officially affirm this belief and denies the possibility of helping by prayer any who may be in that state.

Those who uphold the original beliefs of Jacobus Arminius himself, is the common way to define Arminianism, but those of Hugo Grotius, John Wesley and others also understood the term as a sort of umbrella for a bigger alliance of ideas as well.

Classical Arminianism, which sees Arminius as the main contributor, and Wesleyan Arminianism, which sees John Wesley as the main contributor, are the two main outlooks on how the system is realistic in detail.

This same dynamic between Arminianism and Calvinism can be seen in the heated discussions between friends and fellow Methodist ministers John Wesley and George Whitefield.

While Wesley freely made use of the term " Arminian ," he did not self-consciously root his soteriology in the theology of Arminius but was highly influenced by 17th-century English Arminianism and thinkers such as John Goodwin, Jeremy Taylor and Henry Hammond of the Anglican " Holy Living " school, and the Remonstrant Hugo Grotius.

John Wesley has historically been the most influential advocate for the teachings of Arminian soteriology.

John Wesley, the founder of the movement, was not prepared to allow unordained preachers to administer the sacraments: " We believe it would not be right for us to administer either Baptism or the Lord's Supper unless we had a commission so to do from those Bishops whom we apprehend to be in a succession from the Apostles.

In 1763, Greek Orthodox bishop Erasmus of the Diocese of Arcadia, visited London, where John Wesley had considerable conversation with him, and ordained several Methodist lay preachers as priests, including John Jones.

John Wesley a bishop or not, If he was episcopally consecrated, Wesley could not openly announce this without incurring the penalty of the Præmunire Act.

Since John Wesley ordained and sent forth every Methodist preacher in his day, who preached and baptized and ordained, and since every Methodist preacher who has ever been ordained as a Methodist was ordained in this direct " succession " from Wesley, then the Methodist Church teaches that it has all the direct merits coming from apostolic succession, if any such there be.

This is because John Wesley believed that bishops and presbyters constituted one order, citing an ancient opinion from the Church of Alexandria.

John Wesley held that, as a presbyter, though not a bishop, he had the power to transmit apostolic succession to others and himself ordained ministers for the United States.

John Wesley, along with a priest from the Anglican Church and two other elders, operating under the ancient Alexandrian custom, ordained Thomas Coke a " superintendent ", although Coke embraced the title " bishop ".

They were considered a Catholic innovation, not widely practiced until the 18th century, and were opposed vigorously in worship by a number of Protestant Reformers, including Martin Luther ( 1483 – 1546 ), John Calvin ( 1509 – 1564 ) and John Wesley ( 1703 – 1791 ).

John Wesley consecrated Thomas Coke a " General Superintendent ," and directed that Francis Asbury also be consecrated for the United States of America in 1784, where the Methodist Episcopal Church first became a separate denomination apart from the Church of England.

An early example of the term in its more modern use is found in the sermons of John Wesley.
