In 1852, William Booth took up a ministerial lifestyle. Though he did not agree with some of the actions and teachings the church conducted, he agreed with the preaching of Christianity. Therefore, he set off on his own, walking the streets of London and preaching to the poor, homeless, and sick. Booth dedicated his life to what seemed a solo cause, and he took his message around the country to whoever would listen. Booth’s dedication and passion led to many disagreements with church leaders thought out England.

The Salvation Army was founded as an evangelical organization dedicated to bringing people into a important relationship with God. It’s religious base is based on the Wesleyan-Armenian tradition. The main doctrines of the Salvation Army are as follows: 1. 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, 2. We believe that there is only one God, who is indefinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship, 3. We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, who are undivided in essence and co-equal in power, 4. We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the divine and human are united, so he is truly and properly the son of God and brother of Man, 5. We believe that our first parents were created in a state of innocence, 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 a justly exposed to the wrath of God, 6. We believe taht the Lord Jesus Christ has by his suffering and death made atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved, 7. We believe that repentance toward 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 that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ, 10. 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 may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 11. We believe in the immortality of the soul, the resurrection of the body, in the general judgement at the end of the world, in the eternal happiness of the righteous, and the endless punishment of the wicked.
