What are the means of salvation in Christianity and in Islam?

According to Christianity, Jesus saves. There are differences between the denominations about how this happens but this is the one thing all Christians agree on. Some denominations say that Jesus does all the work and we don't have any responsibility. Some denominations say that Jesus does all the work but we have to accept or receive it. Some denominations say that Jesus does part of the work but we also have to live right or do some form of penance as our portion. However, it cannot be called Christianity if what Jesus did at Calvary was unnecessary.


Do the salvation army help homeless people get nice homes?

The Salvation Army is a great organization that helps people to help themselves. It is not there job to babysit or to give away a lifestyle. That is the responsibility of the person that wishes to have a better life to work towards that goal. The Salvation Army helps them when they are down on their luck and need a meal and a place to sleep. They certainly would like every human to work enough and achieve enough to have a home, but realize that it is the job of the person to want that enough to try to work towards that goal.

Is the Salvation Army government or privately run?

No, not at all. First, it should be noted that the Salvation Army is not a real army-- it used the imagery of the military to refer to the battle against sin. It is a Christian social service organization, which feeds the poor, reaches out to the homeless, and tries to share Christianity with those who seem to need religion in their life. In the US, we have separation of church and state, so while the government might appreciate a Christian (or Jewish or Muslim or Hindu) charity's good work, it cannot officially endorse that work.
