For a while I attended a SA church in Edmonton. I found out that some of the women officers did not follow Ephesians 5:22.

I don't quite understand why charity needs to be tied to religion.

@@RobespierreThePoof Christians are called to acts of charity.

@@RobespierreThePoof well it was kind of like Christians who started doing acts of charity not charity turned into Christians

@@roberteaston6413 So you believe that women are second class citizens, shame on you

i am Salvation Army Soldiers hi brother.

Hello the sumer day camps are cool

Are you guys captains yet? I've heard the most dangerous place to be is between a SA Captain and a television camera.

I hate to do this on here, but why is the Salvation Army allowing women to preach and have authority over men? That is clearly against scripture.

@@jesuswantsrelationship333 where does the Bible specifically state this?

Thats awesome

How do we search for it?

Nuanced to the point of not actually having to think about anything 😂

"Tongues" mean languages... it's not some mystical gibberish.

Sounds like the UK arm of the church lost the plot.

Wow, OK... also NZ and AU.

Well, christian leaders are usually running a church or denomination so they need to have a stance on salvation

@@mercster ??????

He has some Quaker videos.

And the Catholic Church has not changed based on societal changes? Tell me if the infallible popes have changed their mind on how the universe works, how the infallible popes changed their minds on Galileo, how it's now OK to eat meat on Friday, etc. Not to come off so anti-Catholic here but if you live in a glass house maybe you ought not throw stones.

@@markmidwest7092 I'm sorry Mark, but Papal infallibility is a dogma of the Catholic Church which states that, in virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the pope when he speaks ex cathedra is preserved from the possibility of error on doctrine "initially given to the apostolic Church and handed down in Scripture and tradition". It does not mean that the pope cannot sin or otherwise err in most situations.

You may deny your pope's infallibility any way you like but your church is the church-of-what's-happening now every bit as much as the church you accuse. Your church's dogma is not eternal and unchanging. I gave you a couple examples of how it is not.

@@markmidwest7092 You simply don’t understand what papal infallibility is, and even if it’s spoon-fed to you, you’re unable to comprehend it (Matthew 7:6)

@@obbeachbum69 You can ignore my points all you want but my original argument is yours is the church of what's happening now every bit as the one you attacked. Your spirit and traditions have changed. So put that spoon somewhere the Son can't see it.

In terms of Roman Catholicism Salvation Army is like a religious order of Protestantism

@@matiastolmo8936 many protestants do not consider them an orthodox body.

And it’s long form!!

Not a denomination, more of a guilt because they are different in a few core issues. Mike Winger went into depth on them on his channel.

Not a Christian denomination. It is a "high demand" religion. That revolves some korean couple

Right. I believe Booth was just following John Wesley's example in regards to where people partook of the Ordinances.

@@thestandardbarber1708 Weslyan's believe in both baptism and communion. Methodists may vary.

Not a quaker, but that's great that you're God and get to decide who burns in hell or not. Really speaks to the grace you claim to have!

@@bigultrafunny9751 What you said makes some sense, but... Who are you talking to? The Connelly woman didn't claim to be a Quaker only said what Quakers do. I'm surprised someone didn't beat her to it, a lot of people know perfectly well that the Quakers are "aritualistic" whether or not it is popular with anyone else isn't relevant. Or are you replying to the Sweet man? That would make more sense, him sitting there saying who is or is not saved. As far as what you said at least that makes sense...

Thank you for sharing this - as a former officer/salvationist myself, I agree!

Then what of the reference to John the Baptist saying how the spiritual baptism would be more important?

This was all explained in the video

@@loreleihillard5078 No, it wasn't. Sallies are dependent upon other churches to provide communion.

Symbolism. The only question on the table is faith. Further, there are many denominations hallu with sprinkling water or drawing a cross on the recipient's forehead. Jesus never said "if you're not dunked in a river, don't bother me."

He kept it under 60 minutes my guy

@@lachiepentecost1875 Usually has great content. Thanks for your reply.

Why?

@@caltheodore4201 their views on many issues do not align with what I believe. Furthermore, they're a sort of church, yet not a church and their way of raising funds is rather odd. If my church gathered money from stores for the pretext of helping the poor, yet the money was in part for the support of the church then I would think that was rather unethical. If my church gets funds from the community at large for disaster relief then I would expect zero percent of that goes to non-disaster relief items. All of this said, it is fun to put the change in their little buckets.

@@jamescook5617 okay, your entitled to your opinion

So

Yes, because your prejudiced beliefs and dogma is more important than social action to help the destitute. Jesus would have loved the SA for their direct action to help the brotherhood of humanity. Jesus was not dogmatic. Were he alive today, out of all Christian denominations, I'm certain he's be a Salvationist.

Don't the G, B and Q mean the exact same thing?

They straddle the fence of neutrality. They'd rather be Switzerland than Biblical! They are afraid of losing $$$$$$!

I never knew that the Salvation Army is a church, besides being a social service organization. I am fairly new to my area, but I know there is a thrift store run by them, and it's great. Question: when you join the church, do you get a uniform to wear to church or is it optional? if I joined, I wouldn't mind wearing one..I actually think it's kind of cool! God Bless!

@@VMH2222 Yes you have the option of becoming a soldier or and adherent. If you become a soldier you get a Uniform which you only pay 25% of cost, the other part the core and the army pay. You can then purchase additional accessories, and replacement garments.

@@wbazan36201 What is an adherent?

@@wbazan36201 not in the UK they don't you have to pay for your own uniform

@@VMH2222 Someone who recognises the SA as their church but doesn't doesn't fully sign up the Salvation Army regulations

More like they don't administer baptism

So circumcision was too then?

@@slamdancer1720 Yes, of the heart.

But Booth also said they are free to do it, he wanted to focus on the human soul than the physical sacraments. The sacraments happen in response to your salvation same with Baptism.

Same theology as the Methodists

Well Christmas is not celebrated by all the protestant churches, in Chile, my country, almost all churches don't celebrate the Christmas because of Santa Claus and the pagan things in it, they question especially the date, December 25th is not accepted as the correct date so here there a minority who celebrate it

@@matiastolmo8936 First of all, dear friend, there’s nothing wrong in the annual remembrance and festive celebration of Christ’s holy birth. It is in our scripture after all, that the very Angels announced the Good News for all people of the once-and-for-allness of out Saviour’s birth! We celebrate this holiday as biblical because it was then that Christ was first proclaimed, recognized, and righteously worshipped as the Lord of all. The Word made flesh! However, I digress....my point here is, the Salvation Army has indeed historically celebrated Christmas - but now there is a turning away from their biblical roots to fit a secular agenda and only use Christmas in order to get more donations...as it would clearly seem. Let us not forget that they still describe themselves as a (Wesleyan) Christian denomination. Yet today, it appears that any mention of Christ is denied during their annual public events, as well as a true professed Christian proclamation. Unfortunately it is fast becoming more in keeping with a secular agenda, and not at all fitting with their once historic and throughly Christian identity.

@@cherokeegypsy2617 I understand my brother, I really did know about it.

@@cherokeegypsy2617 I don’t know what area you encountered the SA and maybe different regions have different practices. However, I have done volunteer work with the SA and their community shelters and programs are very much religious oriented. Shelter participants attend regular chapel services and are held to Christian standards. What you have encountered is mainly the charity outreach and marketing side which I will admit is very neutral and secular in its approach. Overall the SA does good work and is at the top of the list of charities that I will donate to. I would not use them as a primary Christian church home however. The goal is to lift people out of bad places in life and give them a path to a successful future, in that sense most people are just transitioning through.
