Prayer for the dead (English Wikipedia)

"Neither let us dreame any more, that the soules of the dead are any thing at all holpen by our prayers: But as the Scripture teacheth us, let us thinke that the soule of man passing out of the body, goeth straight wayes either to heaven, or else to hell, whereof the one needeth no prayer, and the other is without redemption." (An Homilie or Sermon concerning Prayer Archived 2008-05-14 at the Wayback Machine, part 3)

Holden, Harrington William (1872). John Wesley in Company with High Churchmen. London: J. Hodges. p. 84. Wesley taught the propriety of Praying for the Dead, practised it himself, provided Forms that others might. These forms, for daily use, he put fort, not tentatively or apologetically, but as considering such prayer a settled matter of Christian practice, with all who believe that the Faithful, living and dead, are one Body in Christ in equal need and like expectation of those blessings which they will together enjoy, when both see Him in His Kingdom. Two or three examples, out of many, may be given: 'O grant that we, with those who are already dead in Thy faith and fear, may together partake of a joyful resurrection.'
Holden, Harrington William (1872). John Wesley in Company with High Churchmen. London: J. Hodges. p. 84. The Prayers passed through many editions, and were in common use among thousands of Methodists of every degree, who, without scruple or doubtfulness prayed for those who sleep in Jesus every day that they prayed to the common Father of all.

"Of course we do not understand exactly how such prayer benefits the departed. Yet equally, when we intercede for people still alive, we cannot explain how these intercessions assist them. We know from our personal experience that prayer for others is effective, and so we continue to practice it."
