Parish_Chapel: Forest of Dean Bible Christian

1. Please can you tell me what "Forest of Dean Bible Christian" means in the space for Parish_Chapel?
The Bible Christians were a Methodist ( non conformist) branch, so the record has come from the Chapel records but was performed by the minister at home

2. If the candidate was an adult, would the transcript still ask for 'name of child'?
the transcript form assumes a Child rather than Person

3. Jesse was Baptised at Preacher's House. Could this be an indication that he was an adult?
I suspect he was a child
