The Salvation Army horribly teaches that salvation is a state, instead of a new birth. The Salvation Army teaches the satanic LIE that salvation is a temporary state that can be forfeited by unfaithfulness. Read their statement of faith for yourself...

“We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.”

That is works! The Salvation Army's founders were heretical Calvinists! I'm not sorry to say that the Salvation Army, and it's founders General William and Catherine Booth, are not saved if they truly believe that they must do something to remain in a state of salvation. That is not the free grace Gospel! You cannot earn eternal life. Clearly, the Salvation Army believes that salvation CAN be lost, by not continuing in obedient faith. You cannot find any such nonsense in the Scriptures!

My friend, you do not become righteous by living a righteous life. Your soul needs to be washed! Only the precious blood of Jesus can do that! The only way to be declared righteous with God the Father, is through submitting by faith to the sacrifice of God's only begotten Son on the cross to pay for your sins. Salvation is not me meaning business, it is God meaning business! The Gospel must not be altered to pressure people to turn away from their sinful bad habits, otherwise it is a false Gospel. The true Gospel is solely by God's grace, easy and free and so simple that even a small child can be saved, simply by believing.

Christ died for me, the JUST for the UNJUST!!!
