These are the beliefs Nazarenes hold to be true:
We believe in one God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
What does it mean?
Below we discuss some of the more difficult to understand beliefs, to help understand some of the Nazarene church beliefs.
We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
We believe that dying unreconciled with God, whether through loss of faith, or through despair, or through a blasphemous rejection of God's love, means we will be lost to God's grace
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
Plenary inspiration is the idea that the Bible is completely inspired by God, and that every word is trustworthy and infallible. The term "plenary" means "complete" or "full".
