Worthy is a Christian Ministry site, and preaching doctrine outside the bible is against the TOS. Please refrain from doing so.

My own opinion....

SDA churches are widely different. As a generalized statement, the SDA churches on the west coast of the U.S. tend to be more solidly biblical. They teach the gospel of salvation and support evangelical missions groups which are not affiliated with SDA.

Those SDA churches on the east coast of the U.S. tend to be far less likely to believe the only way to God and salvation is by faith in Jesus alone. There is more emphasis on certain SDA distinctive like refraining from eating meat.

All I am trying to say is SDA is not cookie cutter, and there are SDA churches which are solid on the gospel of salvation.

How can you judge a whole denomination based on your contact with a couple of people? Are you saying that all the people that have accepted the truth and been baptized through the SDA church are false? Are you saying that all the testimonies and miracles are false? Are you God now, that knows the thoughts and intents of the heart? Are you the Spirit of Truth that searches the deep things of God? Don't let your anger and personal opinions direct your response.

Matthew 7: ¹Judge not, that ye be not judged. ²For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. ³And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? ⁴Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? ⁵Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Jesus said don't blaspheme the Holy Spirit. That doesn't only include rejecting him, but claiming that Christ spirit is from the devil. Be careful how you pronounce God's judgment on ANYBODY.

Don't forget, read your bible. All through the Bible and through history, the people who have always stood up for God's truth were the minority, not the majority. That's test of faith. Can you stand for the truth even when you're being called a devil? This will be a never ending battle that I refuse to entertain. Christians shouldn't be condemning and "arguing" about God's word, but that doesn't stop God's word from acomplishing it's purpose.

Fikayo are you part of the 7th Day Adventists? Curious.

Here's what I found on this topic:

1843 – Cult: Adventists. A minister by the name of William Miller believed that he had discerned the actual date of the return of Christ - 1844. It didn’t happen on the date predicted. It also didn’t happen the following year when he predicted Christ’s return. This became known as the “Great Disappointment.” Miller was understood to be a false prophet.

1863 – Cult: Seventh Day Adventists. Spinoff of Adventist movement lead by William Miller. Ellen Harmon, later to become Ellen G. White, claimed that she had a revelation from God that Miller’s date was correct after all. 1844 was a spiritual date that Christ came and cleaned the sanctuary. She offered no proof of her assertion Biblical or otherwise. White received a revelation that true Christians must keep the Sabbath and worship on Saturday. This of course is a false claim by a false prophet.

Question: "What is Seventh-day Adventism (SDA), and what do Seventh-day Adventists believe?"

Answer: There seem to be different "degrees" of Seventh-day Adventism. Some Seventh-day Adventists believe identically to orthodox Christians, other than believing that worship should be held on Saturday and that the Saturday Sabbath should still be observed. If these are the only differences, then, yes, a person could be a Seventh-day Adventist and still be a true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.

However, some Seventh-day Adventists believe in much more than a Saturday Sabbath / worship day. Seventh-day Adventists have been known to believe in the annihilation of the wicked instead of an eternal hell, and believe that believers who die enter a state of soul sleep and that a person must observe the Saturday Sabbath in order to be saved. Other problems with some Seventh-day Adventists are belief in Ellen G. White, the founder of Seventh-day Adventism, as a true prophet of God, even though many of her "prophecies" failed to come true, and that Jesus entered a second phase of His redemptive work on October 22, 1844, as "prophesied" by Hiram Edson.

So, what is Seventh-day Adventism, and what do Seventh-day Adventists believe? Should a Christian attend a Seventh-day Adventist church? Due to the potential doctrinal issues mentioned above, we would strongly encourage believers to not get involved in Seventh-day Adventism. Yes, a person can be an advocate of Seventh-day Adventism and still be a believer. At the same time, there are enough potential issues to make attending a Seventh-day Adventist church questionable at best.
