I am curious as to what is the difference between southern baptists and the nazarene church? I was raised southern baptist but started to go to a nazarene church recently and I cant seem to point out the differences

Just read the Bible. Who cares about the rest.

Nazarenes are of the Holiness Wesleyan tradition which came from Methodism
Southern Baptists are of a traditionalist Baptist tradition that is older than Wesleyanism

Once God saves a Southern Baptist he is able to keep them saved.
The God of the Nazarenes isn't powerful enough to keep his converts saved. They can just up and leave and he's powerless to do anything about it. And they can come back and get saved again and he's obligated to accept them. Even if they leave again and come back again. He's kind of a wimp.
