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。
6。 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。
7。 We believe that repentance towards God； faith in our Lord Jesus Christ；
and regeneration by the Holy Spirit； are necessary to Salvation。
8。 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。
9。 We believe the Scriptures teach that not only does continuance in the
favour of God depend upon continued faith in； and obedience to； Christ；
but that it is possible for those who have been truly converted to fall
away and be eternally lost。
10。 We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be 〃wholly
sanctified；〃 and that 〃the whole spirit and soul and body〃 may 〃be
preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ。〃 That is to
say； we believe that after conversion there remain in the heart of the
believer inclinations to evil； or roots of bitterness； which； unless
overpowered by Divine grace； produce actual sin； but that these evil
tendencies can be entirely taken away by the Spirit of God； and the whole
heart； thus cleansed from everything contrary to the will of God； or
entirely sanctified； will then produce the fruit of the Spirit only。 And
we believe that persons thus entirely sanctified may； by the power of God；
be kept unblamable and unreprovable before Him。
11。 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 everlasting punishment of the
wicked。

DECLARATION。
I HEREBY DECLARE that I will never； on any consideration； do anything
calculated to injure The Salvation Army； and especially； that I will
never； without first having obtained the consent of The General； take any
part in any religious services or in carrying on services held in
opposition to the Army。
I PLEDGE MYSELF to make true records； daily； on the forms supplied to me；
of what I do； and to confess； as far as I am concerned； and to report； as
far as I may see in others； any neglect or variation from the orders or
directions of The General。
I FULLY UNDERSTAND that he does not undertake to employ or to retain in
the service of The Army any one who does not appear to him to be fitted
for the work； or faithful and successful in it； and I solemnly pledge
myself quietly to leave any Army Station to which I may be sent； without
making any attempt to disturb or annoy The Army in any way； should The
General desire me to do so。 And I hereby discharge The Army and The
General from all liability； and pledge myself to make no claim on account
of any situation； property； or interest I may give up in order to secure
an engagement in The Army。
I understand that The General will not be responsible in any way for any
loss I may suffer in consequence of being dismissed from Training； as I am
aware that the Cadets are received into Training for the very purpose of
testing their suitability for the work of Salvation Army Officers。
I hereby declare that the foregoing answers appear to me to fully express
the truth as to the questions put to me； and that I know of no other facts
which would prevent my engagement by The General； if they were known to
him。
