Understanding Salvation Army doctrine is essential to understanding what The Salvation Army is and what it believes.
There are 11 doctrines which form the foundation for all Salvationist belief and practice. They are not the full extent of what Salvationists believe. But they are the minimum, the things every Salvationist should hold in common.
Everything the Army does, feeding the hungry, walking with the addicted, standing with the powerless, and gathering for worship, grows from these 11 convictions. Doctrine is not abstract. It is the engine underneath everything the Army has ever done.
Key Points
- The 11 doctrines are the agreed foundation for all Salvationist belief and practice.
- They are held together — communally, not privately.
- The field metaphor explains what the doctrines do. The ladder explains how they connect.
- Doctrines 1–4 define who God is. Doctrine 5 names the human problem. Doctrines 6–11 trace the way of salvation.
- These doctrines have shaped Salvationist life and mission since 1878.
You can find short introductory videos for each of the doctrines on the Salvation Army Doctrine Videos page.
Two Ways to Think About Salvation Army Doctrine
Understanding What the Doctrines Do and How They Work Together
There are two images that help us understand the 11 doctrines. Each image does a different thing. The first tells us what the doctrines are for. The second tells us how they work together. We need both.
The Field: What the Salvation Army Doctrines Are For
Think of the 11 doctrines as a fence around a field. The fence marks the territory that all Salvationists share, the space of agreed belief where every Salvationist can stand together. Inside that field, there is room to move. Some people like to stand in the middle, holding closely to what the doctrines say. Others prefer the edges, exploring the nuance and pressing the harder questions. Both are welcome. The fence does not prevent exploration. It protects it.
The fence also shows where we agree. The 11 doctrines do not cover everything Salvationists believe. They are the minimum standard, the shared convictions that make the Salvationist community possible. They are the starting point, not the ceiling.
The Ladder: How Salvation Army Doctrine Works Together
The field tells us what the doctrines are for. The ladder tells us how they connect. These are not 11 independent statements. They are a sequence. Each doctrine builds on the one that came before. Remove a rung, and the ladder becomes unstable.
The pattern is this. Doctrines 1–4 describe who God is: the source of all truth, the one God, the Trinity, and the person of Jesus Christ. Doctrine 5 is the hinge: it names the human problem. Doctrines 6–11 trace what theologians call the via salutis, the way of salvation. They follow the journey of grace from God’s first move toward us, all the way to the hope that waits at the end of time.
We Believe Together — The Communal Heart of the Doctrines
Before we explore each doctrine, it is worth noticing something. Every doctrine begins with the same two words: “We believe.” Not “I believe.” Not “The Army teaches.” We believe. These convictions are held in community — not as private conclusions but as shared commitments. To say “we believe” is already an act of belonging.
Christian faith is not a private project. We cannot build healthy theology alone, and it is dangerous to try. These doctrines form a community. They create the space where Salvationists find one another, learn from one another, and hold one another accountable to what we have promised together.
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 1: The Authority of the Bible
The Source and Standard of All That Follows
Doctrine 1 is the foundation of the entire ladder. Without the authority of Scripture, we have no agreed source for what we believe about God, humanity, or salvation. Every other doctrine depends on this one.
Key Points
- The Bible is the only divine rule for Christian faith and practice.
- “Inspiration” does not mean dictation — the Spirit worked through human writers to produce a trustworthy record of God’s saving work.
- Scripture is the primary authority, alongside the guidance of the Spirit and the wisdom of the Christian community across history.
- Every other doctrine is tested against this one.
“We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
The Bible is not simply one useful book among many. For Salvationists, it is the only divine rule. It is the ultimate measuring rod for Christian belief and practice. All other sources of guidance are tested against it.
When the doctrine says the Bible was “given by inspiration of God,” it does not mean God dictated words to passive writers. It means the Holy Spirit worked through the personalities, contexts, and experiences of the human authors to produce something uniquely reliable. Their human voices are real. The divine purpose behind them is also real. Both are true at the same time.
The Salvation Army’s Handbook of Doctrine names three authorities that together guide our reading of Scripture: the Bible itself, the direct illumination of the Holy Spirit, and the wisdom of the Christian community across the centuries. The Bible remains primary among the three. The Spirit helps us read it rightly. The church’s long tradition helps us avoid reading it in isolation. But Scripture is the final court of appeal.
→ Doctrine 1 gives us the foundation. Doctrine 2 tells us who that foundation reveals — the God the Bible speaks of.
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 2: There Is Only One God
The God Who Made Everything, and Sustains It
Doctrine 2 establishes the God revealed in the Bible. Everything the Salvation Army believes about creation, salvation, and human life flows from this single conviction: there is one God, and this God is personal, present, and worthy of our full devotion.
Key Points
- There is one God — not many, and not none.
- This God is the Creator of everything that exists, and continues to sustain and govern creation.
- God alone is worthy of worship. No power, system, or ideology deserves what only God deserves.
- God’s character is defined by holiness, faithfulness, mercy, jealousy, and truth.
“We believe that there is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
The world did not create itself. It was brought into being by one God. This God is a personal God who is not distant from what he made, but actively sustains and governs it. The universe has dignity because it is not the result of chance. It is the expression of divine intention.
The Salvation Army’s Handbook of Doctrine identifies five qualities that define God’s character. God is holy; utterly pure and good. God is faithful, never abandoning his covenant with us. God is jealous, meaning his love is passionate and exclusive, caring too deeply to be indifferent to our unfaithfulness. God is merciful, delighting in pardoning those who turn to him. And God is true, always consistent with his own character of love and righteousness.
That God is “the only proper object of religious worship” is not a narrow claim. It is a liberating one. No power, nation, institution, or ideology deserves the kind of absolute loyalty that belongs to God alone. Every idol is exposed by this doctrine. Every false absolute is dethroned.
→ There is one God. But how do we understand this God more fully? Doctrine 3 opens the door to the mystery of who this one God is in God’s own inner life.
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 3: One God in Three Persons
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — Equal, Distinct, and Undivided
Doctrine 3 opens the deepest mystery of Christian faith. How can one God be three persons? This doctrine does not resolve the mystery. It holds it faithfully and shows why it matters for everything else we believe.
Key Points
- There is one God who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- The three persons are distinct — not three masks of the same God. But they are never divided — they share one divine essence.
- There is no hierarchy within the Trinity. No person is superior or inferior.
- The Trinity is a community of love. Creation and redemption flow from this community.
“We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead — the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
God is never alone. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist in an eternal community of love. Each person is always in fellowship with the others. The three persons are distinct: the Father creates and governs; the Son redeems and befriends; the Holy Spirit sanctifies and empowers. But they are never divided. They share one divine nature completely.
There is no hierarchy within the Trinity. The Salvation Army’s Handbook of Doctrine is clear: the three persons share “a dynamic circulation of life… without any authority or superiority of one over another.” God is, in God’s own being, a community without domination. This has deep implications for how we organise human life together.
→ The Trinity is one God in three persons. The second person — the Son — enters human history. Doctrine 4 asks: who is this Jesus?
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 4: Who Is Jesus?
Fully God and Fully Human — The Person at the Centre of Everything
Doctrine 4 is where everything becomes personal. This doctrine is not about an abstract idea. It is about a person, a specific person who walked, ate, wept, and died. And who rose again.
Key Points
- Jesus is one person with two natures: fully divine and fully human.
- Not fifty-fifty — 100% God and 100% human at the same time.
- Jesus is not a lesser god, or a very holy human. He is the eternal Son, born into human flesh.
- Who Jesus is determines everything about what Jesus does — including his death and resurrection.
“We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
Jesus Christ is the centre of all the Army believes. Doctrine 4 states it with precision: one person, two natures. He is fully God, the eternal Son, through whom all things were made. He is fully human, born of a human mother, with a body, emotions, limitations, and a story. Not one nature at the expense of the other. Both, fully, at the same time.
This matters entirely. If Jesus were only human, his death would be the death of one good man, moving, but not saving. If Jesus were only divine, his suffering would be theatre, appearing to enter our pain without truly doing so. It is precisely because Jesus is fully God and fully human that his life, death, and resurrection have the power to change everything.
→ We have learned who God is. Now the ladder shifts direction. Doctrine 5 asks the harder question: what has gone wrong with us?
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 5: The Human Problem
Why the World Is the Way It Is — An Honest Diagnosis
Doctrine 5 is the hinge of the whole ladder. Everything before it describes who God is. Everything after it describes what God does to rescue us. But first, we name the problem honestly. The world is broken, and it is not God’s fault.
Key Points
- Human beings were created good — made for innocence, wholeness, and relationship with God.
- Sin has damaged the whole of human nature — not just behaviour, but desire, will, and perception.
- “Totally depraved” does not mean humans are worthless. It means no part of us is untouched by sin’s damage, and we cannot fix ourselves.
- Doctrine 5 names the problem honestly. Doctrine 6 is God’s answer.
“We believe that our first parents were created in a state of innocency, but by their disobedience they lost their purity and happiness, and that in consequence of their fall all men have become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
Human beings were created in a state of innocence, in right relationship with God and with creation. The Fall, the primal turn away from God, broke that relationship. Sin entered human nature. And it did not stay at the surface. Sin damaged the whole of what we are: our desires, our thinking, our will, our relationships, our understanding of God.
The phrase “totally depraved” can sound extreme. In the Wesleyan tradition the Salvation Army inherits, it does not mean that human beings are worthless. It means no part of us is unaffected by sin’s damage. And it means we cannot, by our own corrupted will, find our way back to God without help. This is not despair. It is an honest diagnosis. An honest diagnosis is the first step toward healing.
Doctrine 5 leaves us in need. Doctrine 6 tells us that God has already moved to meet that need, before we could ask.
→ We cannot reach God on our own. But God has already reached toward us. This is where the way of salvation begins — with God’s move, not ours.
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 6: The Atonement — God’s Solution
Grace for the Whole World, Given Before We Could Ask
If Doctrine 5 names the problem, Doctrine 6 is God’s answer. And God answers before we ask. This is the turning point of the whole ladder, the moment when God moves toward humanity with grace that is wider than any one tradition, community, or nation can contain.
Key Points
- Jesus’s death is an act of atonement — making right what sin broke between humanity and God.
- The atonement is for the whole world. No one is excluded from its reach.
- God acts first. Prevenient grace makes it possible for us to respond at all.
- “Whosoever will may be saved” — the invitation is open to everyone who chooses to receive it.
“We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has by His suffering and death made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
Because of the damage described in Doctrine 5, we could not seek God on our own. So God acts first. Theologians call this prevenient grace, the grace that goes before us. God extends this grace to every human being, making it possible to recognise, respond to, and choose God. Without prevenient grace, our damaged will would leave us unable to choose God at all. Because of it, the gospel invitation is genuinely open to every person.
The atoning work of Christ was for the whole world. Not a select group. Not only for those who would later believe. It is the outpouring of grace toward every human being who has ever lived. The Salvation Army holds this universal scope of the atonement with deep conviction. No one stands outside its reach.
This is why the words “whosoever will may be saved” carry such weight. The invitation is not restricted. The door is open to every person. Anyone willing to receive what Christ has made available can be saved.
Liberation Lens — Salvation for the Whole World
The universal scope of the atonement has always shaped the Salvation Army’s presence in the world. If Christ died for everyone — with no exceptions — then no person is beyond the reach of God’s love, and no community is too broken to deserve the Army’s presence. This is why Salvationists go into the margins, the prisons, and the streets. The atonement is not offered only where it is comfortable to go. It is for the whole world. This is also why the Salvation Army believes that every act of care and justice is itself a sacramental act. To read more, see: The Sacrament of Liberation.
→ Atonement has been made for the whole world. But what does receiving that salvation involve? Doctrine 7 describes what happens when we respond.
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 7: Responding to Salvation
Repentance, Faith, and the New Birth — What It Means to Receive God’s Grace
God has made salvation possible through Christ. But salvation must be received. Doctrine 7 describes what receiving it looks like, not as a checklist, but as the natural response of a person who has seen their need and understood God’s offer.
Key Points
- Repentance means turning — away from sin and toward God.
- Faith is not just belief. It is trust — laying claim to what Christ has done for us.
- Regeneration is God’s work in response: the Holy Spirit brings a new birth, a new life.
- These three are not conditions to fulfil, but the natural shape of a life responding to God.
“We believe that repentance towards God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, are necessary to salvation.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
Repentance is turning. It means turning away from sin, not just feeling regret, but a reorientation of the whole person toward God. Faith is the reaching out. It means trusting that what Christ has done is true, and claiming it as your own. The Salvation Army is clear: faith does not earn salvation. It receives it. Salvation belongs to Christ. Faith is the open hand that accepts the gift.
Regeneration is what God does in response. The Holy Spirit brings a new birth, a new life from the inside. Old patterns begin to shift. New desires emerge. The Apostle Paul describes this as becoming “a new creation.” This is not self-improvement. It is a transformation by the Spirit of God.
→ We have responded to God and received new life. But how does salvation actually work? What does it mean to be made right with God? Doctrine 8 explains the mechanics.
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 8: Justification — How Salvation Works
Made Right with God by Grace, Through Faith
Doctrine 8 is an identity marker for the Salvation Army. It places the Army firmly within the Protestant evangelical tradition and makes a remarkable claim about who gets to be a witness to Jesus.
Key Points
- To be justified means to be made right with God — restored to relationship, declared forgiven.
- Justification comes by grace — God’s free gift, not a human achievement.
- Faith is the means by which we receive this grace and claim this justification.
- Every believer is a witness to Jesus — not only officers or leaders, but every saved person.
“We believe that we are justified by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
To be justified means to be made right with God. The broken relationship between humanity and God is restored. The charges against us are dismissed, not because we earned it, but because Christ has paid what was owed. We stand before God no longer under condemnation, but as forgiven and beloved children.
The Salvation Army is clear about how this happens: by grace, through faith. Grace is God’s initiative, his gift, freely given, never earned. Faith is our response, trusting in what Christ has done and receiving it as our own. Our faith does not save us. Christ saves us. Faith is the open hand that receives the gift.
The phrase “he that believeth hath the witness in himself” is drawn from 1 John 5:10 (the translation used in the original doctrine text). In Salvation Army terms, it carries a remarkable claim: every saved person is a witness. Not only officers. Not only those with formal ministry roles. Every believer has something to offer and something to share. Ministry belongs to the whole community.
→ We are justified — made right with God. But staying in that relationship calls for something from us. Doctrine 9 addresses how we maintain what God has given.
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 9: Maintaining Our Salvation
Continued Obedient Faith — A Distinctively Wesleyan-Arminian Conviction
Doctrine 9 is one of the Salvation Army’s most distinctive theological commitments. It asks not just how we receive salvation, but how we stay in it, and what happens if we choose to walk away.
Key Points
- Salvation is not automatically permanent — it requires continued, obedient faith.
- “Continued” and “obedient” belong together. Faith in Jesus means living as Jesus taught.
- This reflects the Army’s Wesleyan-Arminian theology — both the freedom to respond to God, and the freedom to turn away.
- Doctrine 9 calls us not to passive belief, but to active, daily discipleship.
“We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
Doctrine 9 holds that salvation can be lost. A person who has genuinely come to faith can, through sustained rejection of God, walk away from the salvation they received. This teaching is not designed to produce anxiety. It is designed to produce faithfulness.
The two words at the heart of this doctrine belong together: “continued” and “obedient.” Continued faith is not passive. It is not holding on to a belief from a distance. It is faith expressed in obedience, living in alignment with what Christ teaches, returning to God when we fail, staying in relationship through prayer, community, and service.
This doctrine stands in close relationship with what follows. As the Salvation Army’s Handbook of Doctrine puts it: “As we consecrate ourselves, God sanctifies us.” Continued obedient faith is not only about holding what we have. It opens the door to something more.
→ Continued faith opens us to further grace. Doctrine 10 describes the deepest gift God offers the believer — entire sanctification, or what early Salvationists called “the blessing of a clean heart.”
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 10: Entire Sanctification
Holiness of Heart and Life — The Army’s Most Distinctive Belief
Doctrine 10 is the heartbeat of Salvationism. The Salvation Army is, above all, a holiness movement. It has always proclaimed not only that sinners can be forgiven, but that the saved can be made holy, that the root of sin can be transformed, not merely managed.
Key Points
- Entire sanctification is available to all believers — not a spiritual elite.
- It is a work of the Holy Spirit in the heart, distinct from and subsequent to conversion.
- It does not mean sinless perfection or the impossibility of making mistakes.
- It means the reorientation of the whole person — will, desire, and love — toward God.
- It is both a crisis experience and a lifelong process. It begins at a moment; it is lived out over a lifetime.
- Neglect of this teaching is the greatest internal threat to Salvationism.
“We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified, and that their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
Entire sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in the heart of a believer who has already received salvation. It goes deeper than forgiveness. Conversion brings pardon for sins committed. Sanctification addresses the root, the orientation of the will, the habits of the heart, and the desire to turn away from God. Full surrender to God brings a freedom to love that was not there before.
This is not sinless perfection in a rigid sense. The Salvation Army does not teach that a sanctified person becomes incapable of error, misjudgement, or human limitation. As the Handbook of Doctrine makes clear, sanctification is “a radical life-change” and “a lifelong process.” What it means is that the deliberate, wilful choice to turn away from God loses its grip. The desire to obey God, to love others, and to walk in Christ’s ways becomes the dominant orientation of a person’s life.
Entire sanctification is available to every believer. The doctrine calls it a privilege and a gift. The Army’s calling is to make this gift known, to teach it with clarity, and to live it with integrity.
ND Note — On the Word “Holiness”
The word “holiness” can feel distant or even threatening — especially if you have been hurt by religion. Here is a simpler way to hold it: holiness is God making you more fully yourself. The self you were always meant to be, before sin twisted things. It is not about following more rules. It is about wanting what God wants — freely and joyfully — because your heart has been changed from the inside.
→ The journey of grace does not end in the middle of this life. Doctrine 11 carries us to the horizon — the hope that waits at the end of all things.
Understanding Salvation Army Doctrine 11: The Hope of All Things
Resurrection, Judgment, and Eternal Life — The Destination of the Whole Journey
The ladder has to end somewhere. It ends with hope. Doctrine 11 is the doctrine of what comes next, of death and resurrection, of judgment and eternity. It gives everything else its weight and its direction. Without it, the other ten doctrines have no final destination.
Key Points
- The soul does not end at death. Human beings are made for more than this life.
- Salvation is bodily — the resurrection of the body means God redeems the whole person, not just the soul.
- There is a final judgment. The choices we make in this life carry ultimate weight.
- God’s justice will be complete. The suffering of the innocent will not be the last word.
- Eternal life is not a reward earned, but a relationship fulfilled.
“We believe in the immortality of the soul; in the resurrection of the body; in the general judgment at the end of the world; in the eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the endless punishment of the wicked.”
— The Salvation Army Articles of Faith
The immortality of the soul is not a statement about how remarkable human beings are. It is a statement about what God intends. Human beings were made for a relationship with God, a relationship that physical death cannot sever. The soul continues beyond the grave, held in the hands of the God who made it.
The resurrection of the body is one of the most counter-cultural claims of the Christian faith. The good news is not that we escape our bodies and float free as pure spirits. It is that God redeems the whole person, including the body. Christ rose bodily from the grave. His resurrection is the first instance of a new creation that will one day include all who belong to him. Salvation is not escape from the physical world. It is the transformation of it.
The general judgment means our choices in this life have ultimate significance. The Salvation Army does not treat this as a doctrine of fear. It is a doctrine of accountability and justice. In a world where the innocent suffer, the teaching of a final judgment is a word of hope to the oppressed. God sees. God knows. And God will set all things right.
The eternal happiness of the righteous is not a reward the holy have earned. It is the fullness of what they have been moving toward throughout their lives, an unbroken, eternal relationship with the God they have loved and served. It is the completion of sanctification. The endpoint that Doctrine 10 is moving toward.
The doctrine also speaks of the endless punishment of the wicked. The Salvation Army holds this with pastoral care, acknowledging that Christians across the centuries have understood it differently. What is not negotiable is the seriousness of our choices. To finally and permanently turn away from God has real, lasting consequences. But the door of grace remains open. The invitation still stands. You can go deeper with this doctrine here.
The ladder began with the Bible, the word of the living God. It ends with the fulfilment of everything that word has been pointing toward: the resurrection of the dead, the renewal of all things, and the eternal life of all who have said yes to God. This is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of the one that never ends.
Liberation Lens — Justice and the Last Things
For those who have suffered unjustly — crushed by poverty, violence, or systems that were never on their side — the doctrine of final judgment is not a threat. It is a promise. The wrongs done to them will not stand unaddressed forever. The God who sees every act of injustice will bring all things to account. This is the ground of Christian hope for the marginalised: the last word belongs not to the powerful, but to God.
SIDEBAR — What About Sacraments?
One of the most common questions people bring to Salvation Army doctrine is this: why doesn’t the Army take communion or practice water baptism? It is a fair and important question.
The answer is not that the Army is anti-sacramental. It is that the Army believes all of life can be sacramental — that grace is not confined to rituals, and that God can be encountered anywhere, at any time, by anyone. In 1883, the early Army made a deliberate decision to lay down these external ceremonies, freeing the movement to focus on the immediate availability of grace for every person — especially those excluded from established religious structures.
This was not an accident or a lack of theological thought. It was a prophetic act, and it remains the Army’s settled position today. For a fuller exploration, see: The Sacrament of Liberation: Why The Salvation Army Should Not Adopt Ritual Sacraments.
Reflection Space — Finding Your Place on the Ladder
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.”

A Prayer to Begin: Lord, open my heart to understand not just what we believe, but why it matters for how I live. Show me where you are calling me deeper. Amen.

These Are Not Just Eleven Ideas. They Are an Invitation.
The 11 doctrines of the Salvation Army are not a test you have to pass. They are not a wall that keeps people out. They are the shared convictions of a community that has, for more than 150 years, followed Jesus into the world’s most broken places — because those people believed he was worth following.
They begin with the Bible and end with resurrection. They begin with who God is and end with what God is doing with everything. At every step, they point to the same truth: that the God who made you has not given up on you, that the grace Christ won is wide enough to hold you, and that the Spirit is already at work — in your life, in your community, in the world.
Come and explore them. There is room in the field. There is room on the ladder. And there is room for you.
