THE SALVATION ARMY 



ARTICLES OF WAR 



To he signed by all who wish to he entered on the roll as soldiers 



Having received with all my heart the Salvation offered to 

 me by the tender mercy of Jehovah, I do here and now publicly 

 acknowledge God to be my Father and King, Jesus Christ to be 

 my Saviour, and the Holy Spirit to be my Guide, Comforter, 

 and Strength ; and that I will, by His help, love, serve, worship, 

 and obey this glorious God through all time and through all 

 eternity. 



Believing solemnly that The Salvation Army has been raised 

 up by God, and is sustained and directed by Him, I do here 

 declare my full determination, by God's help, to be a true soldier 

 of the Army till I die. 



I am thoroughly convinced of the truth of the Army's 

 teaching. 



I believe that repentance towards God, faith in our Lord 

 Jesus Christ, and conversion by the Holy Spirit, are 

 necessary to Salvation, and that all men may be saved. 



I believe that we are saved by grace, through faith in 

 our Lord Jesus Christ, and he that believeth hath the 

 witness of it in himself. I have got it. Thank God ! 



I believe that the Scriptures were given by inspiration of 

 God, and that they teach that not only does continu- 

 ance 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.
