Yes the Church of God does believe that a person can lose their salvation if they turn back to the ways of this world. The Bible says that a man taking hold of the plow if he looks back is not fit. The good news is if we fall we have an advocate with the Father who is Jesus Christ and if we will ask for forgiveness and truly mean it God will forgive us and restore us.

Do Assemblies of God believe you can lose your salvation?
Yes they do; the Southern Baptists do not believe you can loose your salvation.
Is the Nazarene church like the Assembly of God church?
No, they are not alike. Assembly of God is a Pentecostal denomination. The Nazarene Church is a breakoff of the Pentecostals, but their beliefs are somewhat different. They do not list themselves as Pentecostals and do not fall under that umbrella. They are a denominational church in their own right, not affiliated with any other church. Some smaller churches have formed from the Nazarene denomination, such as the Wesleyans. Their main belief that differs from other Christian Churchs (Pentecostal) is the belief you can lose your salvation once you are saved. They do not believe in eternal security. They also believe you can reach santification here on earth, not just after you die.. The Pentecostal Church does not teach either of these beliefs, but many Pentecostal Churchs believe in speaking in tongues as a sign you are saved. The Nazarene Church does not believe in this, nor does it encourage the congregation to speak in tongues. Those are the main differences between the two churches. edit by j54gonzalez: I believe you are mistaken about Pentecostal's and eternal security. I was raised Pentecostal and my grandfather is a Pentecostal minister, never have i heard that Pentecostal's believe you can't lose your salvation. If anything it was stressed that you could stray from God and lose your salvation, you can repent for what you have done but none the less you can stray from the "narrow path" if you will. I would like to know where the assumed "breakoff" from the Pentecostal church happened historically. From 1908 until 1915 the official name was "Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene". However, that name was dropped so as not to be confused with the nonbiblical extremes of the pentecostal movement that began with the revival on Azusa Street. Nazarenes are Wesleyan Armenians, who do not believe you can "lose" your salvation like I can lose my carkeys. However, I can become an apostate and after having been delivered from the sin that separates us from God only to return to it. We believe that salvation is based on a relationship with Christ, not a contractual agreement. RMD

No, absolutely not. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that "salvation is free" (Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 2:4).
