Pledge to the Christian Flag

I pledge allegiance to the Christian Flag

and to the Savior

for whose Kingdom it stands.

One Savior, crucified, risen,

and coming again

with life and liberty to all who believe.

Pledge to the Bible

I pledge allegiance to

the Bible, God's Holy Word,

I will make it a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path

and will hide its words in my heart

that I might not sin against God.

Astig Si God

maraming nalalaman
