What does the Nazarene Denomination believe?
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.
Baptist is much more accurate doctrinally.
Nazarene teaches the lie that you can somehow "lose" salvation, but teaching that is a lack of faith in Jesus as Savior.

The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Christian church in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition, tracing its roots to an anniversary date of 1908. It was founded to spread the message of scriptural holiness (Christlike living) across the lands. Today the Church of the Nazarene is located in 155 world areas.
The Church of the Nazarene is a Great Commission church. Our mission is to make Christlike disciples in the nations. We believe that God offers to everyone forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love, meaning in life, and the promise of heaven when life is over by entering and experiencing a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We are called to take this message to people everywhere.
The Church of the Nazarene is also a holiness church. We believe that Christians can experience a deeper level of life in which there is victory over sin, power to witness and serve, and a richer fellowship with God, all through the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Beliefs:
We believe in one God-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
We believe 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.
We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
