The Modern Application of Wesly's Way of Salvation is, Indeed, Another Way of Salvation and Another Gospel, and It Is Dangerous in Practice

We can't get God to call us by learning morality or ethics.

Wesley's Way of Salvation misunderstands the basis of gaining the image of God (1).  God's Spirit creates that life in us when we are born again by believing the tenets of the gospel and responding to that belief by calling on the name of the Master to be saved by verbally confessing Master Jesus (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 for the beliefs outlined in verses 3b-8, and see Romans 10:9a, 10:10b, and 10:13 for the action we must take to be saved).  Wesley supposes that gaining the image of God - a necessary part of salvation - is partly through the soulish work we do to sanctify ourselves, but Romans 10:9b-10a says we gain righteousness by believing the same thing that the 1 Corinthians passage says we believe to be saved.  That means that salvation comes first, and then sanctification by believing the Resurrection, which entails contemplating the reality of the Spirit of Life Who raised Him from the dead, Who is also with us, guiding us who are saved, born-again and justified, and also Whose Law we are under.  That Holy Spirit of God, Who teaches us the mind of our Master Jesus Christ, is the source of our soulish progress (our mind is part of our soul).  We cannot get sanctified before becoming 100% finished in our instantaneous rebirth through justification, due solely to the call of God and not to any moral schooling we are trained with before our justification (refer to Wesly's "Prevenient Grace").  So, Wesley's Way of Salvation has it backwards and intermixed, and that sin against the truth has grown to today's antics in the Church of not even telling the dying World the good news that Paul first learned and then preached of how they could be saved, even while the Church does a surface good to the dying World of handing them a free sandwich!  It's obscene!

Social and cosmic salvation, justification, sanctification, good works and individual salvation are all inherent in what Christ did when He became sin for us and died for the sins of us, His enemies.  Individual salvation and sanctification are all inherent, with glorification, at the same moment we believe and confess Him, because what God starts, He finishes. Time is needed, but it is inevitable that the justified will also be sanctified and glorified, and these are the people God predestined to be conformed to the image of His dear Son since before the foundation of the World.  Christ's Church is not meant to bring about the city of God or to change the World into the Kingdom of God by earthly means!  Christ brings about change in the World by saving every one from it whom His Father has given to Him, transforming us into His image by His own ways and by His own power and by His own Spirit directly, and not by our hands, if we do what He actually said, which includes that true, powerful mechanic that believing the Resurrection brings righteousness.  He does change all who have believed and confessed Him, according to the Scriptures, even if that individual is a rank, willfully unrepentant sinner.  It's not the person's will, but God's power that saves.

The desire to make certain truth known about the existence of this thing called "sanctification" has caused a large part of the Church to imagine that it must work hard with the will in order to be sanctified before it can be truly justified, and a large part of the Church has imagined that giving food to the poor will draw them to Christ by interacting with the giver through an awakening in that Worldlings soul through that act of kindness, but it's not Christ's truth.  Christ's truth is that those being called by God need to understand the gospel, and so God will send them preachers of the gospel that Paul first learned and then preached, which we have in 1 Corinthians 15:3b-8 and Romans 10:9a, 10b, and 13.  See Romans 10:14-17, and especially verse 16, which emphasizes that obedience to the gospel is by belief.  That is, belief of the specific tenets of salvation that Paul first learned (which means tradition going back before Paul's ministry), which he preached to the Corinthians and which we have in God's Holy Bible.

The justified do naturally develop spiritual fruit.  Wesley knew that fruit is not as important in salvation as faith is, but Wesley should have known that fruit is the outcome of justification, often retarded in its production in practice in us little and weak Christians, and faith along with verbally confessing Master Jesus is the cause of justification (and all the rest, because God finishes the work).  That means we can't lose our salvation nor are we deemed never to have been saved by unconfessed sin.  Confessing sin is not the basis of salvation.  Confessing Master Jesus is, which is the opposite of confessing sin!  We must see that Paul's call to go past the rudimentary things of sin and salvation, etc. is evidence that salvation happens once and for all in a moment when we sincerely believe specific things of Christ's death, burial, Resurrection and subsequent witness and when we call on His name for our salvation by verbally confessing Master Jesus.  Paul separated the later things from those first things.  Even though sanctification is an outcome of justification and can't be had without it (though the World is trying to outflank the Church on a sort of surface, pseudo-sanctification of its own), tying salvation to sanctification ravages our understanding of justification by putting it in our will-driven hands to accomplish it instead of our utter reliance on Christ to do it for us, and it hurts our practice of sanctification by putting it in our will-driven hands to accomplish it, instead of on the transforming work - which is also a part of salvation, which Weslyans also agree with - of the Holy Spirit to change us as we believe the Resurrection and He Who raised Christ from the dead, Who is with us.  It's similar to the Catholic Church that tries to add to the effectiveness of Christ's death to bring us grace by their filthy practice of the spiritually wicked transubstantiation.

Dear Church that Christ and His Father knows belongs to Him, get together on the simplicity of biblical salvation doctrine.  There's a lot of confusion, fear and bad practice that comes from misunderstanding it.  Then we will be in shape to go on and get these things we want - a clean and strong mind with pure faith that moves mountains, working together, worshiping together and awaiting the great, notable day of the return of our Master Jesus Christ, Who will make peace with the World by separating all His own out of it and then destroying it and then rebuilding the Heavens and the Earth to put all of us, His own, into it and to sit in God's city Jerusalem, ruling all of it and us, to His mighty glory and to our great gladness!  Amen.

1) "the renewal of our soul in the image of God after the likeness of him that created it" (Wesley, “Sermon 44: On Original Sin,” in Works, Outler, 2:185.)

"We believe that the purpose of the Church is to worship God in spirit and in truth, and to reach a lost and fallen world with the gospel of Jesus Christ through its worship, witness, and loving deeds" (Our Beliefs & Core Values - The Weslyan Church, https://www.wesleyan.org/about/our-beliefs, retrieved July 30, 2021).  Worship isn't reliable to reach the World with the gospel.  Loving deeds isn't reliable to reach the World with the gospel.  Witness is only reliable to reach the World with the gospel if it is a witness about Christ's death, burial, Resurrection, subsequent witness and our need to believe those things and to verbally confess Master Jesus.  Nothing else called "a Christian witness" is reliable to reach the World with the gospel.
