What We Believe

These are the beliefs we hold to be true in the Church of the Nazarene:

BELIEFS
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 (complete) 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 (those who do not repent of their sins and trust in Christ
alone) 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.
