My husband is a member of the Nazarene
church. One of the things that surprised me
was that the church he attends believes that
baptism may be done to anyone--infants and
(if the parents request it or agree to it) through
adults. The second thing that surprised me was
that they teach that immersion, spriinkling, or
pouring are all right. Although my husband is a
member there, he does not agree with any of
this but only in immersion for people who know
they are saved.
The third thing that surprised me, however, was
that they agree with Baptists re that they cannot
live sinless lives--they are far more Calvinist
than people say.
Does anyone else here know of any specifics
in which Nazarenes and Baptist agree and/or
disagree? My husband is very new there and
cannot answer this question.
