She is as stupid as XXXX. John Wesley was convinced of salvation by grace through faith after reading Luther's commentary on the book of Romans. She is the left wing version of Mormonism.

Have you ever read Wesley's encounter with the Moravian missionaries in the midst of a storm? It's awesome.

Oh yes.He learned much from Count Zinzendorff and it was with Moravians at Fetter Lane in London in January 1739 that Wesley witnessed the baptism of the Holy Spirit where he describes the very pentecostal experience of people falling to the ground under the unction of the Holy Spirit and praising God (he called it the "second blessing"). This after he had tried to do all the good works possible to please God, and finally understanding that his pietist works would not win his salvation.

Why is the OP surprised. I thought is was well understood that John Wesley was a form of Arminian known as Wesleyan Arminianism.

Wiki Wesleyan Arminiansim

Granted, this is Wiki, but I'd be surprised to hear any specific examples of how any of this is not reasonably accurate.
