MY FRIENDS, WHAT DOES A SEVENTH-DAY-ADVENTIST BELIEVE?

The greatest want of the world is the want of men [and woman], men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin by its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall. (E.G. White, Education, p. 57) It is not my responsibility to give a history lesson on one’s beliefs because what all Christians should believe in is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom [we figuratively crucify daily if our life is nor centered around Him.] Whom God raised from the dead.

This is the stone which was [despised and] rejected…..which has become the chief cornerstone. [and there] is salvation in [no] other name under heaven [that has been] given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:10-12 (NKJV) My friends “there is no other alternative for salvation but Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”

So the major beliefs of a SDA even though there are twenty eight of them can be summed up into seven doctrines of the church beginning with 1. Scripture; which is the word of God, 2. Salvation; deliverance from sin by one name only, Jesus Christ. 3. Sanctuary; We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.” Heb. 8:1-2 (NKJV)

4. The Sabbath; which is the seventh day Sabbath in Exodus 20:8, (KJV) “Remember the “Sabbath day to keep it holy” 5. Second coming; And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” John 14:3 (NJKV) 6. State of the Dead; “The resurrection of the dead will occur at the second coming of Christ at the “last trumpet the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and we shall always be with the Lord” 1 Thess. 4:13-18 (NKJV) 7. Spirit of Prophecy; “Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7 (NKJV) “Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Rev 19:10 (NKJV)

So my friends, we all must build our faith and endurance on what we believe, and that belief must be based on God’s word. And that faith and endurance becomes a personal testimony because Salvation is not acquired in groups. Individually your belief and faith and endurance must take you through “great tribulation, (pressure, distress, oppression), such has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will again]” Matt. 24:21 (NIV)

And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet and they will gather together His elect (God’s chosen ones) from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Matt. 24:31 (AMP) Therefore, you [who follow Me] must also be ready; because the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him. Matt. 24:44 (AMP) But, This good news of the kingdom [the gospel] will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end [of the age] will come.” Matt 24:14 (AMP)
