CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The COTN will stress sanctification a lot more than the UMC; that's the main difference. The other differences are non-doctrinal and have more to do with organization of the church and congregation. The catalyst for the start of the Church of the Nazarene was an elder who believed God's will was for him to stay in his current charge as he was doing effective work among the poor in Los Angeles, so he refused the new appointment. After censure by the Methodists, he went independent and continued the work. That grew into the Church of the Nazarene.
In general, the doctrines are exactly the same, but the Nazarenes are somewhat more conservative in practice and interpretation.

He asks and answers exactly the type of questions you've posed in so many sub-forums. And he conscientously attempts to do quality research and be fair rather than polemical.
