Church of the Nazarene Articles of Faith <br />
The Church of the Nazarene world-wide has established the following Article of Faith: <br />
<br />
We believe in: <br />
The Triune God, the one eternally existant, Triune God being revealed as Father, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Son and Holy Spirit, <br />

The Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Triune Godhead; <br />
The Holy Scriptures that are given by divine inspiration; <br />
Sin, Original and Personal which has come into the world through the disobedience </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">of our first parents, and death by sin; <br />
Atonement, made by Jesus Christ through His suffering and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">shedding of His blood and death on the Cross - for all human sin; <br />
Prevenient Grace, being that the human race's creation includes the ability to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">choose between right and wrong and that thus human beings were made morally responsible; <br />
Repentance, which is a sincere and thorough change of the mind in regard to sin; <br />
Justification, Regeneration, and Adoption - these are simultaneous in the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">experience of seekers after God; <br />
Entire Sanctification which is the act of God by which believers </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">are made free from original sin,             </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">and brought into a state of entire devotement to God; <br />
The Church - which is called to express its life in the unity and fellowship of the Spirit; <br />

Divine Healing which is a Bible doctrine that we urge our people to seek </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">to offer the prayer of faith for the healing of the sick; <br />
Second Coming of Christ when we shall be caught up with the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">risen saints to meet the Lord in the air, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">so that we shall ever be with Him; <br />
Resurrection, Judgement and Destiny; resurrection of the dead - judgement in which </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">every person shall appear before God to be judged according to their deeds in this life -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> our destiny that a glorious and everlasting life is assured to all who savingly </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">believe in and obediently follow Jesus Christ our Lord! </span></span></div>
