THE DOCTRINES OF THE SALVATION ARMY。
The principal Doctrines taught in the Army are as follows：
1。 We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament were given
by inspiration of God； and that they only constitute the Divine rule of
Christian faith and practice。
2。 We believe there is only one God； who is infinitely perfect； the
Creator； Preserver； and Governor of all things。
3。 We believe that there are three persons in the Godheadthe Father； the
Son； and the Holy Ghost； undivided in essence； coequal in power and glory；
and the only proper object of religious worship。
4。 We believe that； 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。
5。 We believe that our first parents were created in a state of innocency；
but by their disobedience they lost their purity and happiness； and that；
in consequence of their fall； all men have become sinners； totally
depraved； and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God。
6。 We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has； by His suffering and death；
made an atonement for the whole world； so that whosoever will may be
saved。
7。 We believe that repentance towards God； faith in our Lord Jesus Christ；
and regeneration by the Holy Spirit； are necessary to Salvation。
8。 We believe that we are justified by grace； through faith in our Lord
Jesus Christ； and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself。
9。 We believe the Scriptures teach that not only does continuance in the
favour of God depend upon continued faith in； and obedience to； Christ；
but that it is possible for those who have been truly converted to fall
away and be eternally lost。
10。 We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be 〃wholly
sanctified；〃 and that 〃the whole spirit and soul and body〃 may 〃be
preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ。〃
