I’m curious why you’re singling out the Nazarenes? They’re fairly small, and I think they have the same theological beliefs as other churches derived from the Wesleyan movement.
Forgive my stupidity, but I meant to be speaking in the most original sense, as in “followers of ‘Yeshua Natzri’ (Jesus the Nazarene)”
In Hebrew (especially ancient writings), at least, the term encompasses all followers, regardless of particular church or denomination, since inception.
This may be one of the instances where I get outed as an English-as-a-second-language speaker.
Anyway, my actual goal was to not single out any given church or denomination, but everyone who follows those teachings, from inception, to point out the particular preacher’s position is hardly novel.
