Here, let's let them tell you why.
Quote:The Salvation Army has never said it is wrong to use sacraments, nor does it deny that other Christians receive grace from God through using them. Rather, the Army believes that it is possible to live a holy life and receive the grace of God without the use of physical sacraments and that they should not be regarded as an essential part of becoming a Christian.
Is it your reading that's the problem here or your ability to critically think that's the problem?
They don't think baptism is an essential part of becoming a Christian. How does that mean they don't practise baptism at all?
Ice-cream isn't an essential part of dinner. Does that mean people don't eat ice-cream at all?
