| | Worship in The Salvation Army |
 | | The role of public commitment in Salvationist practice and worship is vital, as testifying to God's grace from the congregation and publicly kneeling to pray at the mercy seat are regarded as genuine aspects of Salvationists' faith. | | | This is particularly true when Salvationists' worship is compared with that of their brothers and sisters in the older Established and Orthodox Churches. | | | The delineation between sacred and profane, or dedicated and ordinary, is one that Salvationists have to recognise as relative. |

| | Uniforms and fund-raising: Material practices in the Salvation Army |
| | Salvationists explained in their writings—especially their weekly newspaper the War Cry—their goal was to "religionize secular life" and to "secularize religious life," that is, to "sanctify the commonplace." Thus, they were very interested in transforming material practices from profane and secular to holy and sanctified. | | | Salvationists attracted attention from the unchurched and even those hostile to religion by making their evangelical outreach resemble secular entertainment. | | | Most Salvationists here would like Americans to understand that the Army is a Christian church with an evangelistic mission. |

| | SALVATIONISTS use a number of ceremonies to mark stages of commitment and the development of individuals within the worshipping and serving community. | | | Salvationists believe in marriage as a sound basis for family life. | | | At a simple ceremony which may be considered comparable to confirmation or baptism in another church, the recruit affirms these promises and signs them in the presence of the congregation. |

| | Salvationists consider the person who "dies in the Lord" to be promoted to glory. | | | As part of the Christian church, Salvationists follow the general Holy days of the Christian calendar. | | | As our doctrine sets forth, Salvationists believe "in the immortality of the soul; in the resurrection of the body; in the general judgement at the world's end; in the eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the endless punishment of the wicked." |

| | KtB - Losing Their Religion? |
| | Not surprisingly, Salvationists were conscious of the need to appear "religious" as opposed to "evangelical" when soliciting from donors who might not share their faith commitments. | | | Salvationists have come to understand just how far they can push the spiritual character of their programs, while government regulators appreciate that Salvationists can never truly separate their faith from their activities. | | | Moreover, since the First Amendment was interpreted as prohibiting any federal funds for religious activity, Salvationists were asked to separate the religious from the social aspects of their programs. |

| | Our Symbols |
| | The negative effects that Salvationists have to guard against are exclusivity within the Army's congregations and a sense of smugness or spiritual superiority, and complacency (mistaking the wearing of particular garments for being in a right relationship with God). | | | The crest is a meaningful symbol of the Salvationist's beliefs. | | | The Salvation Army term used to describe the death of a Salvationist is that of the deceased being "promoted to glory". |

| | Furthermore, Salvationists are not prevented from being baptised in other churches should they so desire. | | | At first these marching Salvationists were anything but uniform, dressed in an odd assortment of clothing and headgear. | | | Indeed, when they take part in gatherings with Christians from other churches, Salvationists will often share in using the symbols of the Lord's Supper as a sign of fellowship. |

| | Summary of Why Selective Salvation can't be True |
| | Selective Salvationists say the core of this doctrine is the sovereignty of God and His complete control over everything. | | | Selective Salvationists say before God created the universe, He selected certain people to go to Heaven and the rest go to Hell. | | | Selective Salvationists often use this verse as proof God has chosen certain people for salvation. |

| | Salvationists have never believed that any of these functions interfered with one another; a church militant, doing good works in the world, was the vision of the Army's founder William Booth, and it is the vision of today's Salvation Army. | | | And there are signs that the church's frontline work is becoming saddled with an unfamiliar and inhibiting amount of red tape. | | | The changes the Army has undergone in the last 10 years have been compared to the effect of the Second Vatican Council on the Catholic Church. |

| | Fortunately, the Salvationists are more accessible to the religious character of the drama than the playgoers to the gay energy and artistic fertility of religion. | | | William Stead, who not only understand the act as well as the Salvationists themselves, but also saw it in its relation to the religious life of the nation, a life which seems to lie not only outside the sympathy of many of our theatre critics, but actually outside their knowledge of society. | | | They can see, when it is pointed out to them, that a theatre, as a place where two or three are gathered together, takes from that divine presence an inalienable sanctity of which the grossest and profanest farce can no more deprive it than a hypocritical sermon by a snobbish bishop can desecrate Westminster Abbey. |

| | It is necessary to help cultivate the spirituality of Salvationists as the basis for that creative approach. | | | It is by calling us to a life of mission through which all our prodigious physical and spiritual energies can be adequately and creatively engaged, that biblical spirituality humanises us. | | | The traditions of The Salvation Army, with its rejection of the political and violent approach, to say nothing of the Indian traditions of ‘ ahimsa’, force every Salvationist to consider the second of these in the first instance. |

| | Our Master (Thoughts for Salvationists about Their Lord) Story |
| | A man may believe every word of the faith of a Churchman or a Salvationist, and yet be as ignorant of any real experience of religion as an infidel or an idolater. | | | We care nothing for the position of a church or sect; we care everything for a real control over the souls and conduct of living men and women, that we may lead them to God and use them for His glory. | | | There might, perhaps, remain a stunted and unfruitful infant life--but a _man_ in Christ Jesus, a _Soldier_ of the Cross, a _leader_ of God's people, without tribulation _there can never be_. |

| | He again assured me, that though individuals amongst the Army might have met occasional Church opposition with ill-advised retort, such attacks were wholly contrary to his wishes or to the general principles of the Army, who were earnest after unity and concord, especially with the Church of England. | | | I asked him if his people had any ill-feeling towards the clergy, as I had heard reports of occasional attacks by Salvationists upon the ministers of the Church. | | | I am astonished that your Lordship should not, apparently, perceive the unreasonableness of making a charge affecting the morality of 450 congregations of poor people without first giving any one of those congregations an opportunity of clearing themselves from the imputation. |
