Jewish Wesleyans
Based on this ancient "King Parable" taught by first century sages, like Jesus, there is evidence for the legitimacy of Wesleyanism, among the Jews.
From Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus, New Insights From a Hebraic Perspective, written by David Bivin and Roy Blizzard, Jr.
"Rabbi Eliezer said, 'Repent one day before your death.' His disciples asked him, 'But can a man know on what day he will die?' He said, 'So much the more must he repent today. Perhaps he will die tomorrow. It follows that a man should repent every day. Thus in his wisdom Solomon said: 'Let your garments always be white, and let not oil be lacking on your head' [Ecclesiastes 9:8].'"
Forever learning,

Great question! I'll do some research.
