Steeplejacked Methodist Church?

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]ladyaelfwynn)

Hey all!

I was reading a friend's LJ and came across this article on Athens, Ala. trying to repeal its laws allowing sale of alcohol.

I did some poking a checked out Isom's Chapel UMC and after reading the section on their beliefs started wondering if perhaps this church had been steeple jacked.

My mother was brought up in the Methodist Church and I attended services sporadically (whenever I visited my grandparents) growing up. I never got the idea from either my grandparents who were very active in their churches or the services that they believed, "We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible word of God. (Psalm 119; John 10:35; II Timothy 3:14-17; Hebrews 4:12)". (From the Isom Chapel webpage)

I double checked the Wikipedia entry on UMC and they mention the Bible as being inspired but not the rest. The rest of that language struck me as a warning sign that they might have been taken over by Dominionists.

Any ideas? Thanks!
