THE SALVATION ARMY

THE SALVATION ARMY

Why do a lot of businesses allow the Salvation Army to solicit money on their private property?

What most people don’t seem to understand is that the Salvation Army is a false religious denomination just like Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Moonies, and Muslims.

Since the Salvation Army is a false religious denomination, why would anyone who is a Christian contribute money to a group that is opposed to their beliefs? Let the Salvation Army raise money from its own members. If you want to donate to an organization outside of your church, give to the Red Cross.

Like all false religions, the Salvation Army believes in a “Works Righteousness” method of salvation. Works Righteousness is a religion of meritorious works and human achievement. True Christianity believes in “Divine Accomplishment.” It’s a simple as this; either “I did it” or Christ did it.”

How serious is this? The Catholic Church pronounces a curse on anyone who believes that salvation is not dependent on good works. The error of Roman Catholicism is that salvation comes first and then good works would be the fruit of a changed life and not the other way around.

Ephesians 2:8
8. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that (faith) not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9. not of works, lest anyone should boast.

SALVATION ARMY ERRORS

1. CAN LOSE SALVATION
MUST CONTINUE DOING GOOD WORKS TO MAINTAIN SALVATION
2. NO BAPTISM
3. NO LORD’S SUPPER
4. ALLOWS WOMEN PREACHERS
5. ALLOWS “DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS”
A couple of years back, the Salvation Army caved in to societal pressures when its “Western Corporation” decided to extend benefits to “Domestic Partners.” Translated, that means the Army decided it would accommodate the homosexual community and those who were living together in intimacy without the marriage arrangement.
The city of San Francisco had offered a 3.5 million dollar contract to various groups to provide drug treatment, meals, shelter, etc. to the homeless (who have denigrated the “city by the bay” in a perfectly horrible fashion). But there is a San Francisco ordinance that requires that organizations doing business with the city must not exclude health-care benefits from homosexuals or non-married partners in live-in arrangements. For a while the Army resisted; eventually, though, by its own admission, the organization yielded to the money enticement.
