10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)

Church of the Nazarene is Trinitarian orthodox.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Nazarene Articles of Faith affirm Scripture 'inerrantly revealing the will of God concerning us in all things necessary to our salvation' — limited-inerrancy formulation, not Chicago-Statement level.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not detailed.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Nazarene denomination teaches entire sanctification / second-blessing Wesleyan perfectionism; distinct from Reformed/sola-fide framework — red per rubric (non-Protestant-sola-fide in strict sense).

WARNING!

Gender / Biblical Design

Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

Church of the Nazarene ordains women as pastors and elders — systemic egalitarian polity.

Church of the Nazarene has ordained women clergy since 1908; current Lead Pastor James Heyward is male, but denominational polity is egalitarian

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

James Heyward identified as Lead Pastor; denominational polity includes district superintendents.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Not described on pages fetched.

Caution

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Belong in community, Believe in Christ, Become change agents' — generic contemporary evangelical framing.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

No overt DEI/CRT markers seen, but 'change agents in the world' is common progressive evangelical language.

Caution

Accountability Structure

Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Church of the Nazarene — Wesleyan-Holiness denomination that ordains women; outside confessional-Reformed/SBC/LCMS accountability structures per rubric.

WARNING!
