Agreed Statement of Belief
Manual, 1997-2001, Church of the
Nazarene
Recognizing that the right and privilege
of persons to church membership rest upon the fact of their being regenerate, we
would require only such avowals of belief as are essential to Christian
experience. We, therefore, deem belief in the following brief statements to be
sufficient. We believe:
 | In one God - the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. |
| That the Old and New Testament Scriptures,
given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian
living. |
| That man is born with a fallen nature, and
is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually. |
| That the finally impenitent are hopelessly
and eternally lost. |
| 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. |
| That believers are to be sanctified wholly,
subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| That the Holy Spirit bears witness to the
new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers. |
| That our Lord will return, the dead will be
raised, and the final judgment will take place. |
