What is the difference between Methodist and Protestant?

Answer by  dollgirl (636)

All Methodists are Protestants, but not all Protestansts are Methodists. Methodism is a denomination, or sub-set if you want to use that term, of Protestantism. Protestants trace their roots back to Martin Luther, a Catholic clergy member, who wrote the Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. The Theses are widely regarded as the primary catalyst for the Protestant Reformation

This is a contradictorily question. This is because Methodists are a protestant denomination in itself. There is no protestant denomination, but are many. Baptists, Pentecostals, Methodists, etc. are all protestants. A protestant would be someone who is not Eastern Orthodox or Catholic.
