I believe that it is the privilege of all God's people 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。〃
That is to say； I 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
these evil tendencies can be entirely taken away by the Spirit of God；
and the whole heart thus cleansed from anything contrary to the will
of God； or entirely sanctified； will then produce the fruit of the
Spirit only。 And I believe that persons thus entirely sanctified may；
by the power of God； be kept unblamable and unreprovable before Him。
I 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。
THEREFORE； I do here； and now； and for ever； renounce the world with
all its sinful pleasures； companionship treasures； and objects； and
declare my full determination boldly to show myself a Soldier of Jesus
Christ in all places and companies； no matter what I may have to
suffer； do； or lose； by so doing。
I do here and now declare that I will abstain from the use of all
intoxicating liquors； and also from the habitual use of opium；
laudanum； morphia； and all other baneful drugs； except when in illness
such drugs shall be ordered for me by a doctor。
I do here and now declare that I will abstain from ＇323＇ the use of
all low or profane language； from the taking of the name of God in
vain； and from all impurity； or from taking part in any unclean
conversation or the reading of any obscene book or paper at any time；
in any company； or in any place。
I do here declare that I will not allow myself in any falsehood；
deceit； misrepresentation； or dishonesty； neither will I practise any
fraudulent conduct； either in my business； my home； or in any other
relation in which I may stand to my fellow men； but that I will deal
truthfully； fairly； honourably； and kindly with all those who may
employ me or whom I may myself employ。
I do here declare that I will never treat any woman； child； or
other person； whose life； comfort； or happiness may be placed within
my power； in an oppressive； cruel； or cowardly manner； but that I will
protect such from evil and danger so far as I can； and promote； to the
utmost of my ability； their present welfare and eternal salvation。
I do here declare that I will spend all the time； strength； money；
and influence I can in supporting and carrying on this War； and that I
will endeavour to lead my family； friends； neighbours； and all others
whom I can influence； to do the same； believing that the sure and only
way to remedy all the evils in the world is by bringing men to submit
themselves to the government of the Lord Jesus Christ。
I do here declare that I will always obey the lawful orders of my
Officers； and that I will carry out to the utmost of my power all the
Orders and Regulations of The Army； and further； that I will be an
example of faithfulness to its principles； advance to the utmost of my
ability its operations； and never allow； where I can prevent it； any
injury to its interests or hindrance to its success。
＇324＇ And I do here and now call upon all present to witness that I
enter into this undertaking and sign these Articles of War of my own
free will； feeling that the love of Christ who died to save me
requires from me this devotion of my life to His service for the
Salvation of the whole world； and therefore wish now to be enrolled as
a Soldier of the Salvation Army。
