	Nazarene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nazarene may also mean a member of the Church of the Nazarene.
		The name "Nazarene" was also taken by a group of early nineteenth century German Romantic painters: for this usage, see the article Nazarene movement.
		Acts 24:5) and geographical position of the sect, lead to the conclusion that the Nazarenes of the 4th century are, in spite of Epiphanius' distinction, to be identified with the Ebionites.

	Nazarene
		Nazarene is a title by which the Jewish followers of Jesus were referred to in the early years after his death.
		Nazarene Judaism has become a term for a subset of messianic Judaism consisting of believers who call themselves Jewish and say that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
		The name of the movement refers to a New Testament prophecy attributed to (though not found in) the Old Testament ("He shall be called a Nazarene.") and the idea that Jesus came from Nazareth.

	Ancient Paths - Articles - Nazarenes and Ebionites
		The Ebionite/Nazarene movement was made up of the mostly Jewish/Israelite, followers of John the Baptizer, and later Jesus, who were concentrated in Palestine and surrounding regions, and led by “James the Just,” oldest brother of Jesus, flourishing between the years 30-80 CE.
		Nazarene comes from the Hebrew word Netzer, drawn from Isa 11:1 and means a Branch—so the Nazarenes were the “Branchites,” or followers of the one they believed to be the Branch.
		John the Baptizer seems to arise out of this context and rekindle the apocalyptic fervor of the movement in the early decades of the first century C.E. So, the terminology is flexible, there are a variety of self-designations used by the Jesus movement, most of which had previously been used by the Essenes.

	Church of the Nazarene? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		That may seem obvious, but it is the place to begin in the sense that the Church of the Nazarene thinks of itself as an integral part of the Church Universal before it thinks of itself as having a unique or distinctive mission or calling.
		This also means that the Church of the Nazarene accepts the great ecumenical creeds of the first five centuries of Christian history (e.g., the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed) as expressions of its faith and as foundational to its identity.
		Nazarenes value this heritage and seek to be faithful to it.

		And the movement itself goes forward with a stronger tide of unity, with a clearer vision and a deeper passion to carry the message of redeeming love and full salvation to the ends of the earth.

	Epinions.com - Why I am a Nazarene
		No true Nazarene would ever sport the bumper sticker, “I’m not perfect—just forgiven.” Never mind the shallow spirituality of the statement, it is a sentiment that denies the core of who we are as Nazarenes.
		Then there was the conservative movement that infiltrated every church that calls itself fundamentalist (and again, we could get into long discussions about that definition--I refer to those churches which embrace the five fundamentals as described in "The Fundamentals" written in the late 1800s).
		Nazarenes have somehow forgotten their heritage and joined the conservative movement to the point where many displayed a hatred toward liberals.

		The Church of the Nazarene, from its beginnings, has confessed itself to be a branch of the “one, holy, universal, and apostolic” church and has sought to be faithful to it.
		This movement was characterized by lay preaching, testimony, discipline, and circles of earnest disciples known as “societies,” “classes,” and “bands.” As a movement of spiritual life, its antecedents included German Pietism, typified by Philip Jacob Spener; 17th-century English Puritanism; and a spiritual awakening in New England described by the pastor-theologian Jonathan Edwards.
		The central figure of the movement was Phoebe Palmer of New York City, leader of the Tuesday Meeting for the Promotion of Holiness, at which Methodist bishops, educators, and other clergy joined the original group of women in seeking holiness During four decades, Mrs.

		The movement is distinguished by the emphasis on the second work of grace, also called sanctification or perfection, a distinct experience following salvation or being born again.
		In contrast to the Salvation Army, the percentage of women clergy in the Church of the Nazarene dropped from 20 percent in 1908 to 6 percent by 1973.
		This is particularly evident in the Church of the Nazarene.

		The Nazarene deaconess has been a lay order functioning from the beginning of our history alongside the regular ministry ordained to “Word and Table.” Clear lines have always separated the two types of ministry.
		This fact, coupled with her subordinate role in the ministry, made the Nazarene deaconess a forerunner of the modern specialized staff minister.
		The decline of the Nazarene deaconess movement was apparent by the mid 1920s, paralleling the deaconess movement’s decline in Protestantism generally.

		Originally called the Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene, the name was officially changed to Church of the Nazarene in 1919 due to the fact that 'Pentecostal' had acquired a new meaning associated with speaking in tongues, etc. and the Nazarene Church did not practice speaking in tongues or other Pentecostal 'phenomena'.
		The Church of the Nazarene is one of the largest and most significant of all the Holiness Churches with over 5,326 local congregations in the U.S. and Canada and nearly 15,000 churches worldwide with a total membership of over 1,500,000 worldwide.
		In fact, The Nazarene Church is called the 'Right Wing of the Holiness Movement' by one historian because of their very conservative views.

		The Nazarenes' work is thus not "at home" in the abstract space of a gallery or museum where it must compete for the viewer's attention with works in many different styles.
		What was common to both the "public" and the "private" art of the Nazarenes, however, was the demand for absolute authenticity of feeling in the artist and it may well be that this emphasis on inner feeling was better suited to their private than to their public art.
		In the Nazarenes' case, revolutionary impulse and impulse toward conversion are similarly connected as a desire to transform the individual and to transform culture itself, to begin anew—in their case, as in that of the neoclassical artists, by reconnecting with an earlier past.

	About Us
		The Church of the Nazarene has always sought to identify itself as a branch of the one, holy, universal, and apostolic church whose roots are found in the Old and New Testaments.
		The American Holiness Movement of the 19th century renewed Wesley’s concerns (many participants were Methodists), but it especially emphasized “the cleansing of the heart” as the work of the Holy Spirit who came upon believers at Pentecost.
		Today the local church is composed largely of persons who are new to the Church of the Nazarene but in sympathy with the emphasis found here: the preaching and teaching of the Bible and the pursuit of a Christian experience that makes a difference in real life.

	THE PLACE OF REVIVAL IN NAZARENE EVANGELISM
		As has often been said, the Church of the Nazarene was born in revival fires; and from the time Dr. Bresee organized the first Church of the Nazarene in Los Angeles in 1895, it was a place of revival fire and evangelistic zeal.
		The one striking feature of the Nazarene movement is intense revival fire." And in an editorial in the Preacher's Magazine of March, 1940, he asked, "What is the proper program of the church?" and he answered: "The program of the church is a revival program...
		Nazarenes today are asking in varying degrees of criticism or concern, "What is wrong with our evangelism?" or, "Whom can I get for an evangelist?" There seems to be the implication that three hundred evangelists wholly determine the state of evangelism in the entire church.

	Church of the Nazarene
		The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant denomination that arose out of the late 19th - century movement emphasizing scriptural holiness as taught by John Wesley.
		Primary doctrinal emphasis is on entire sanctification, by which believers are freed from original sin and brought into "a state of entire devotement to God." The church's government is representative, with balance between ministerial and lay membership on administrative boards.

		The term Ebionite (from Hebrew ' Evyonim) means "Poor Ones" and was taken from the teachings of Jesus: "Blessed are you Poor Ones, for yours is the Kingdom of God" based on Isaiah 66:2 and other related texts that address a remnant group of faithful ones.
		Nazarene comes from the Hebrew word Netzer (drawn from Isaiah 11:1) and means "a Branch"—so the Nazarenes were the "Branchites" or followers of the one they believed to be the Branch.
