A little light bedtime reading on the subject of Adherents.


Salvation Army - Salvationist 6 March 2004 p1 THE nature of adherency within The Salvation Army has been clarified and redefined. After consultation and discussion, General John Larsson has approved a new definition of an adherent which includes a statement of faith, and clarifies the extent to whi...

Salvation Army - SECOND-CLASS SOLDIERS? FOR the present, would-be adherents of The Salvation Army will not be asked to make a public profession of Christian faith. Our Territorial Commander feels such a move would turn adherents into 'class II soldiers'.

Adherent:
A person who regards The Salvation Army as his/ her spiritual home but has not chosen to make the commitment of 'soldiership' in The Salvation Army. (www.salvos.org.au)

I basically had to stand in the front of the church with my minister, and confirm my faith in Jesus Christ and my desire to be a member of the corps/church. I signed a certificate (I can't remember where it is at the moment) that stated I believed in Jesus Christ, accepted him into my heart, would protect and be loyal to the Salvation Army and to my Corps in particular - growing in it, serving regularly, giving regularly, attending regularly, etc etc.

Later on I'll have a look at my certificate and type the declaration on here.

I am expected, as an Adherent, to attend regularly, have a ministry in the church, and actively participate in giving.

I suppose any one can wear a uniform- it's only clothes after all. But the uniform doesn't make the soldier. The promises do that.
