The Salvation Army is part of the Christian Church based on the theory:

"Heart to God, Hand to Man"

The Salvation Army preaches that the teachings of the Bible are fundamental - dealing with the Creation and the Fall of Humankind; and that our rebirth and salvation come through faith, Christ's sacrifice and the Divine grace enabling us to grow in righteousness through the power of God.
