Our Beliefs




Our Beliefs

The Salvation Army is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church with our own distinctive governance and practice.
 
Every person becoming a member (soldier) of the Army signs the Soldier’s Covenant which amongst other things acknowledges their acceptance of these truths below, which are the foundation for The Salvation Army's beliefs and practices internationally.
 
The Salvation Army has 11 faith-based statements called doctrines that summarise its religious beliefs. The Salvation Army’s statements place it in harmony with other mainstream denominations of Protestant Christianity. These statements are: ​​
01. The Bible
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian Faith and practice.
 
02. God
There is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, who is the only proper object for religious worship.
 
03. The Trinity
There are three persons in the Godhead – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost – undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory.
 
04. Jesus Christ
In the person of Jesus Christ, the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man.
 
05. Sin from the beginning
Our first parents were created in a state of innocence, but by their disobedience lost their purity and happiness. In consequence of their fall all people have become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God.
 
06. The atoning work of Jesus
The Lord Jesus Christ has by his suffering and death made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved.
 
07. Repentance for Salvation
Repentance toward God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, are necessary to Salvation.
 
08. Justification by faith
Justification is by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and those who believe have the witness in themselves.
 
09. A continuing faith
Continuance in a state of Salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.
 
10. Holiness
It is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified, and their whole spirit, soul and body may be preserved blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
11. Eternal reward or punishment
The Salvation Army believes in the immortality of the soul; the resurrection of the body; the general judgement at the end of the world; the eternal happiness of the righteous; and the endless punishment of the wicked.
