National University (CA) is one of the worst accredited school in the USA.

(med, sports, art, tech, etc??) It’s for a school project and I cant seem to find the answer anywhere.

The best known landmark in Point Loma is the Old Point Loma Lighthouse./

I think I used to go there when i was little, but I don’t know my faith! Please help!

Yes, any church that is not Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox is usually classified as Protestant.

Life, Thanks,
It is a good church, The doctrine of it is sound. It is a holiness church. They believe of the freedom will of man. They do not believe in "Once saved always saved". They believe that all are born in sin. All need to be born again thru the shed blood of jesus Christ the only Savior.
Thank God for them. I am not a nazarene though. There are no Nazarene churches near me. I go to a Baptist Church.

I would just like to know some details of the worship services for the Nazarenes. Why theirs is different than others and why they do the certain things they do?

The Ch. of the nazarene is Arminian-Wesleyan in theology. Therefore the doctrine of entire sanctification, which teaches cleansing from inborn sin now, is important to the denomination.

Everyone is believed to be born with a nature against God and toward evil. The Holy Spirit makes people aware of their sin and provides grace in anticipation of repentance, that enables them to turn from their sin and have faith in Christ. When christians respond in faith the the call of consecration they are entirely sanctified.

They observe baptism my sprinkling, pouring, or most often immersion.
The Lord’s supper is considered a memorial of Christ’s sacrificial death. Communicants receive both the bread and nonfermented wine.

Traditionally, worship in the church has been characterized by freedom and personal involvement.

I am a senior in high school getting ready for college. I recently got accepted to Eastern nazarene College in MA, but don’t know if I should go there. I would appreciate it if someone would

A) Give me a quick review of the school and campus life.
B) Tell me if they offer a Software Programming Major.

Thanks a bunch.

I go to ENC for youth group.

It’s about 20 minutes away from Boston. There are many talented people at ENC, and their population is around 1,075 students. ENC is very successful in getting their students the proper education they need. The faculty of ENC are very supportive of all of their students. Students are encouraged to travel and explore their course outside of the school as well. ENC is one of the best christian colleges you could ever imagine going to. The campus is absolutely beautiful.

I know that they offer computer engineering, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they offer software programming as well.

If you want any more information about the school, I recommend calling this number: 1-800-88-ENC-88 . They will provide you with all of the information you need.

I hope you make the right choice and choose ENC as your school!

Are they any way similar to Baptists? ( Nazarene is a denomination in the Christian faith)

They are generally a very fundamentalist denomination of protestantism, but they do not believe in "eternal security". Other words, that it is possible for true Christian to lose their salvation after they were saved.

I believe that the nazarene’s are mistaken with at belief, but they are still a good Christian people and are brothers and sisters with me in Christ. And yes, the most important issues of faith they are much like Baptist and other fundamental/evangelical Christian churches.

John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.

I’ve known many members of the Nazarene Church over the years, and I hope that someday I will grow in my christian maturity and zeal for the lost as many of these people. Again, I am proud to call them brothers.

I’m wanting to know what the largest congregation is for the Church of the nazarene. It can be based either on official membership, or average church attendance.

Grove City Church of The Nazarene, Grove City, Ohio is the largest in the U.S. In other countries Haiti, then India has largest number of members.

I have been a christian-Baptist and I am curious what sets Nazarene apart.

I grew up in an independent Baptist church, but I attended a Nazarene university and am currently a member of the Church of the nazarene. The truth is that you’re probably not going to see a lot of difference between the two denominations at first. The services are probably very similar, and the key doctrines are the same.

The Church of the Nazarene is a product of the holiness movement, which emerged in the late 19th century and mostly came out of the Methodist church. The Nazarene church was officially organized in 1908 when four holiness denominations merged into one. The church’s doctrine is described as Wesleyan-Arminian, and it is very similar to Methodist doctrine. In contrast, there are many Baptist sub-denominations with doctrine ranging from the Free Will Baptist church, which is mostly Arminian, to the Sovereign Grace Baptist church, which is strictly Calvinist. Most Baptist churches, including the Southern Baptist Convention, are descended from the Calvinist branch, but they deviate from some of its key doctrines, particularly regarding free will.

The most obvious difference is that the Nazarene church believes that it is possible to lose your salvation while most Baptist churches do not. Nazarenes also put a lot of emphasis in holy living. In the past, this resulted in a lot of legalistic "rules" that Nazarenes were expected to live by. Most of these have been repealed, but they still influence the church. The church government is also quite different. Baptist church are almost all congregational. Nazarene congregations have a strong say in what goes on in their churches, but churches still have to report to a governing body called the District Assembly, and every four years, the entire denomination comes together for a General Assembly to discuss organizational issues and polity.

The key doctrine that sets the Church of the Nazarene apart from other denominations is its stance on entire sanctification, also called Christian perfection. Nazarenes believe that it is possible to be entirely sanctified here on earth. (Most Christian denominations believe in entire sanctification, but they believe that it does not happen until we reach heaven.) The exact details regarding Christian perfection are debated even among Nazarenes, but in practice, I find that it’s not that different from what most Baptists call "giving your life over to God" or "dedicating your life to Christ."

It is also worth noting that the Nazarene church does not take an official stance on some issues, such as creation or eschatology. As a result, individual churches may differ in what they teach on these matters. Also, some things that are technically permitted by the church are not performed by all congregations. For example, the church permits infant baptism, but it is so rarely performed that even many Nazarenes are not aware of that. As a result, most Nazarenes are not baptized until after salvation, which is consistent with Baptist theology.

The official doctrine and organization of the church is also stated in "Manual: Church of the Nazarene," which is updated at the General Assembly every four years:
