Statement of Faith
 of the Church of the Nazarene

   We believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  We especially emphasize the deity of Jesus Christ and the personality of the Holy Spirit.

   We believe that human beings are born in sin; that they need the work of forigiveness through Christ and the new birth by the Holy Spirit; that subsequent to this there is the deeper work of heart cleansing or entire sanctification through the infilling of the Holy Spirit, and that to each of these works of grace the Holy Spirit gives witness.

   We believe that our Lord will return, the dead shall be raised, and that all shall come to final judgment with its rewards and punishments.
