Yes they do; the Southern Baptists do not believe you can loose your salvation.
Yes Nazarenes believe that there is a Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Baptist believe in the security of the believer and that you cannot loose your salvation, the Nazarene Church teaches that you can loose your salvation. Baptists only baptist those who have verbally accepted Jesus as their personnel savior. Nazarenes baptize infants. These are the two main differences, but these 2 things are huge.
You can not lose your salvation no matter what; and if people are telling you you can then they are wrong.
no
They believe once saved always saved and you cannot lose your salvation once you are born again by the Holy Spirit. This is based on the scriptures. See John 10:27 through verse 30.
Some people believe that salvation is guaranteed to those who believe in Christ.
Yes the Church of God does believe that a person can lose their salvation if they turn back to the ways of this world. The Bible says that a man taking hold of the plow if he looks back is not fit. The good news is if we fall we have an advocate with the Father who is Jesus Christ and if we will ask for forgiveness and truly mean it God will forgive us and restore us.
No. There is no way to loose your salvation. Of course, this assurance is based on the assumption that you 'had' salvation in the first place.
There are many similarities and many differences between the Church of the Nazarene and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Evangelical Christian denomination founded in Texas in 1908. They currently report just over 2 million members worldwide. Headquarters are currently in Kansas City, Missouri. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a Restorationist Christian denomination founded in New York in 1830. They currently report just over 14 million members worldwide. Headquarters are currently in Salt Lake City, Utah. As both groups are Christian, they have some similar beliefs, such as salvation through Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible as the Word of God. However, within the Christian realm, they are quite different: *The Nazarenes believe in the Trinity; while Mormons believe that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three seperate beings perfectly united in purpose. *The Nazarenes believe that baptism can be performed by immersion, sprinkling, or pouring and use both believers and infant baptism; Mormons believe in believer's baptism by immersion only. *Nazarenes believe the Bible is inerrant and is the only book of scripture. Mormons believe the Bible is the Word of God, but that some translations are not entirely accurate. They also use the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price as scripture. *Nazarene services are becoming quite contemporary, and Mormon services are very traditional, but both have a tradition of holding occasional services where members of the congregation stand to testify of their own faith to each other, rather than listen to a sermon. *Nazarenes have evangelists that earn their living through preaching. Mormons have no paid preachers. *Nazarenes ordain females and males, Mormons ordain only males. *Both Nazarenes and Mormons believe in the laying on of hands to pray for divine healing. *The Church of the Nazarene is governed by a General Assembly of elected representatives and a group of elected superintendants. The Mormon church is governed by a Prophet and Twelve Apostles, no elections are held. *Nazarene churches are required to serve communion at least four times a year, many do it once a month. Mormon churches serve it every week. *Both Nazarenes and Mormons reject the popular notion of 'once saved always saved' and believe that apostasy and loss of salvation is possible. *Both Nazarenes and Mormons believe that repentance is required to recieve forgiveness of sin, and that good works are the sign of a true believer. *Both Nazarenes and Mormons believe that all people - wicked and righteous, will be resurrected before being judged of God. *Both Nazarenes and Mormons are very active in supporting higher education and missions. *Both denominations are very organized in their structure and leadership. *The Mormon church has many doctrines that the Nazarenes do not, such as modern revelation and prophesy, an open scriptural canon, eternal marriages and families, and salvation for the dead.

No, they are not alike. Assembly of God is a Pentecostal denomination. The Nazarene Church is a breakoff of the Pentecostals, but their beliefs are somewhat different. They do not list themselves as Pentecostals and do not fall under that umbrella. They are a denominational church in their own right, not affiliated with any other church. Some smaller churches have formed from the Nazarene denomination, such as the Wesleyans. Their main belief that differs from other Christian Churchs (Pentecostal) is the belief you can lose your salvation once you are saved. They do not believe in eternal security. They also believe you can reach santification here on earth, not just after you die.. The Pentecostal Church does not teach either of these beliefs, but many Pentecostal Churchs believe in speaking in tongues as a sign you are saved. The Nazarene Church does not believe in this, nor does it encourage the congregation to speak in tongues. Those are the main differences between the two churches. edit by j54gonzalez: I believe you are mistaken about Pentecostal's and eternal security. I was raised Pentecostal and my grandfather is a Pentecostal minister, never have i heard that Pentecostal's believe you can't lose your salvation. If anything it was stressed that you could stray from God and lose your salvation, you can repent for what you have done but none the less you can stray from the "narrow path" if you will. I would like to know where the assumed "breakoff" from the Pentecostal church happened historically. From 1908 until 1915 the official name was "Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene". However, that name was dropped so as not to be confused with the nonbiblical extremes of the pentecostal movement that began with the revival on Azusa Street. Nazarenes are Wesleyan Armenians, who do not believe you can "lose" your salvation like I can lose my carkeys. However, I can become an apostate and after having been delivered from the sin that separates us from God only to return to it. We believe that salvation is based on a relationship with Christ, not a contractual agreement. RMD
There is a theological debate about whether a saved person can lose their salvation, with various perspectives among different Christian denominations. Some believe in the concept of "eternal security" where once saved, a person cannot lose their salvation. Others believe that it is possible for a saved person to walk away from their faith and reject their salvation. Ultimately, this is a complex issue that varies depending on one's theological beliefs.
