The Church of the Nazarene (originally Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene) rose out of 3 independent Holiness groups in the 1900s and eventually dropped the "Pentecostal" from their name. They are distinguished by their belief in entire sanctification as a second work of grace given at the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
