You said that The Salvation Army has no position on Creation and Evolution. However, our 5th doctrine states that "We believe that our first parents were created..." And where this is not a full, in-depth statement, it is enough to establish that The Salvation Army does believe that the world was created, placing it in the creationist camp.
Something I'd like to see in these videos (if there is room) is a brief statement on a denomination's praxis in addition to their doctrine. For example, the Salvation Amry is known for providing a lot of social services like shelters and food kitchens funded by their Christmas bucket drives, as well as youth summer camps and their chain of low cost thrift stores. I'm also curious about demographic and geographic data on churches. For example, I am curious if there are many remote rural SA Corps, or if they tend to only be in urban centers.
To clarify, the thrift shops help fund the rehabilitation programs(97cent/dollar, rest is employee cost) , and they don't go towards the social service office/Corp
Thank you for this I was reminded of your Army whilst on an unofficial missing persons" page. Which saddens me to see so many people looking for so many people, legitimate or not Anyway you found my uncle in Canada in the early seventies. Nice to have an explication of The Salvation Army. An army that works discreetly but surely Thank you for all you do
When my new neighbor moved in couple years ago he said he was in the army. Him and his wife had a barbeque at his house and he was introducing people as Sergent so and so, and said they were all in the army. Then he casually mentioned the Salvation Army church they go to close by. Wow I didn't know people were allowed to claim to be in the army without full disclosure. His wife of 20 years took off on a midnight move and he is now selling the house and being very hateful.
I am a Salvation Army officer and I say no. In order to be a soldier, you need to profess faith in Christ and make lifestyle commitments that are in line with Salvation Army values. You must be a Christian first before you become a soldier in the Salvation Army.
@@meganmoretz2680 Thank you for your reply. I was once told by a young Salvation Army soldier that in order to join One had to first have heard God's voice calling them to service. This has stayed in my mind ever since. Over the years I've seen many officers in uniform and it astonishes me that God has spoken directly to each and every one. The officer of whom I speak is now a prominent figure in the Church, commanding a great many soldiers and lesser officers. He has even rewritten the Bible, replacing Yashuas name with his own. He also insists that he is addressed and referred to as 'Father'. Is this behaviour typical of all Salvationists I wonder?
There may be some theology differences, but from my understanding the basics of Jesus being born human, died for the world, rose from the dead should be the same throughout all of Christianity. If someone from the Salvation Army feels they are being(as the SA says) "called" to baptism, they are free to do so.
Initially, the Salvation Army wasn't intended to be an actual church. It was just in 1865 that the main churches would be kicking the patrons (that William Booth would send their way) back out on the streets.
Very informative. I send them $60 a month because I believe they serve those most in need and least likely to receive, I'm almost every city. If a catastrophe came my way, I am curious if I showed up at the front door what my experience might be like. I don't like the army theme
Well,I there is a lot of information that I was not aware of. Too bad they don't read the Torah god clearly states the seventh day is the Sabbath. Sunday is the first day of the week🙏❤

Not sure why that's funny, brother. I'll try to answer your unspoken question though: We use pseudo- military themes because we consider ourselves in a state of perpetual war. Our enemies are not of this world however. Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers (types of , in this case fallen, angels), against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Look into the darkness, where poverty brings suffering, addiction twists into madness, sorrow to despair and hate. That's where we fight. I don't give a rat's hindquarters about secular wars, and if someone chooses not to add to the sum of human suffering... I have no problem with that.
No but what it represents is, Blue represents the purity of God. Red stands for the blood of Jesus who died to save people. Yellow symbolises the light and fire of God's Holy Spirit
@@colinmerritt7645 A document created by the Salvation Army International Social Justice Commission called "Study Guide on Racism" claims that white people are responsible for "unconscious bias" an idea thought up by Critical Race theory.
They hate Catholic school students apparently. My sister went to my father's uncle's funeral and afterwards his brother in law called her all the four letter words in the book, dad was not close to his uncle and our cousin had to comfort her.
Never in my life have I heard personally of a Salvation Army officer hating on people. I grew up in the church and have seen more hateful comments about the Army than the Army toward anyone else.
That is not true. The RC high school is right beside our Corps and the kids and teachers are constantly at our place helping in the food bank, cleaning the place and doing whatever is needed. We love these kids and are thrilled they and their leaders are part of our group.
Just to affirm you, the corps I grew up in most definitely hated Catholic individuals (and all other sects of Christianity). I have very extensive trauma from the Army and as such I stay the hell away from them these days. It’s literally a cult and I thank my lucky stars everyday I got out.
They may not perform them, but they don't deny members from participating on their own at other places that do. They still preach the same things but focus more on the spiritual aspect of Salvation, more than the rituals/ceremonies. From my experience, that is.
Symbolic, both of them. As humans we do love our symbols and the SA is as prone as anyone else, but don't confuse symbols with faith. Plenty of 'Christians' out there have been baptized and taken communion, but they have not given themselves to Christ.
@@colinmerritt7645 Inclusion is word WOKE people use to make their skewed view sound good. why is the SA guide telling whites to apologize? Short answer = they have been taken over by idiots!
I hope you look closer. As mentioned the SA is also a church with many social programs such as pantry, kitchens, youth and adult recreation, camps, daycare and music depending on local resources and need. You will find us in the midst of every major disaster including Hurricane Katrina and 9/11. We are also in over 100 countries, some who don't like the US very much, helping out.
William and Catherine started out a great Godly organization...... Todays SA is woefully Heathen , Ungodly, Money Hungry, Paganistic, Organization ..... Im sure there are many christians still in there today, but, I wouldnt give em a wooden nickle.
I really have to challenge this. There are no neo-pagan elements in our doctrine or worship. In fact, we're careful to place Biblical writing ahead of man's interpretation as men are fallible.
Um..no, we don't do that. We believe in inclusion as we are all children of God, but no one has ever challenged me on race. Indeed, I've never seen a community so skilled at making race a non-issue.
I know you might not be this way but in all your videos you have this sanctimonious look on your face. I don’t see humility I am sorry if I offend you. I really like your videos and learn a lot from you. God bless you my fellow bond servant in Christ Jesus.

I was told by a Salvation Army officer that in order to join One had to be invited directly by God.

0:39 - Why would someone get baptized into a church they didn't belong to, or share beliefs with?

Someone may change denominations. I've been baptized twice before finding Jesus through the SA.
I agree l00% with you. The Army should rethink this stand.
Even in a short treatment of their beliefs, their stance on ECT should be noted.
