Methodists used to be Christians, but not so much anymore.
There are exceptions.
Historically almost all Protestants affirmed the just use of the violent sword in three areas: Just War, Public Justice, immediate self defense to save your life, your family, your neighbor, from murder.

My Methodist scoutmaster was a true regenerate Christian, he had a huge influence on me to believe the gospel. He was also a Marine in Korea. He fought a million screaming chicoms when they crossed over the Yalu river.
