According to The Discipline of the Wesleyan Church (2008), The Wesleyan Church believes the following regarding what has been popularly referred to as “The Second Coming of Christ”:

We believe that the certainty of the personal and imminent return of Christ inspires holy living and zeal for the evangelization of the world.  At His return He will fulfill all prophecies made concerning His final and complete triumph over evil.

The Discipline further states, under the heading “The Resurrection of the Dead,” that:

We believe in the bodily resurrection from the dead of all people- of the just unto the resurrection life, and of the unjust unto the resurrection of damnation.  The resurrection of Christ is the guarantee of the resurrection which will occur at Christ’s Second Coming.  The raised body will be a spiritual body, but the person will be whole and identifiable.

Moreover, The Discipline makes this claim regarding our belief about “The Judgment of All Persons”:

We believe that the Scriptures reveal God as the Judge of all and the acts of His judgment are based on His omniscience and eternal justice.  His administration of judgment will culminate in the final meeting of all persons before His throne of great majesty and power, where records will be examined and final rewards and punishments will be administered.

Finally, The Discipline includes this statement regarding The Wesleyan Church’s belief regarding humanity’s “Destiny”:

We believe that the Scriptures clearly teach that there is a conscious personal existence after death.  The final destiny of each person is determined by God’s grace and that person’s response, evidenced inevitably by a moral character which results from that individual’s personal and volitional choices and not from any arbitrary decree of God.  Heaven with its eternal glory and the blessedness of Christ’s presence is the final abode of those who choose the salvation which God provides through Jesus Christ, but hell with its everlasting misery and separation from God is the final abode of those who neglect this salvation.

These statements lead to two questions with which I would like to begin the discussions which shall follow.  

1. What does a distinctly Wesleyan-Arminian Eschatology look like? (For example:  Are the ever-popular Dispensationalism and Wesleyan-Arminian eschatology compatible?  Can one posit a “realized” or Preterist eschatology and still claim to be Wesleyan?)
2. Have we set aside the notion of bodily resurrection in favor of a “new body”? And at what cost?
