My Pledge of Allegiance to the Nation:
I, Paul John Narang, am a Citizen of the United States of America, the greatest nation on earth, and would gladly shed the last drop of my blood for her defense. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
My Oath to protect and defend the United States of America:
I, Paul John Narang, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. I declare that I take this oath out of my own free volition and not out of any coercion. So help me God.
My Pledge and Allegiance to the Christian Church:
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, Eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, Begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit He became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]. With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy Christian and Apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
