Mark 16:9-20 is Scripture; resurrection and commission affirmed

Salvation Army treats Mark 16:9-20 as part of Scripture and uses passage in teaching. Resurrection affirmation and commission to believers aligns with Salvationist understanding.\n\nArmy does not engage in textual criticism but receives passage as Scripture communicating Gods mercy toward marginalized and sinful. Aligns with Methodist-Holiness emphasis on Gods grace available to all.
