	Adventism, Seventh-day Adventists
		Adventism is the belief that Christ's personal second coming is imminent and will inaugurate his millennial kingdom and the end of the age.
		Adventism is most commonly used, however, to denote the movement which sprang up in the 1830s from the teachings of William Miller, a Baptist minister in New York.
		The centrality of the events surrounding the return of Christ in the premillennialism which became so critical in the development of the fundamentalist movement and the contemporary emphasis upon the imminent second coming of Christ in evangelical churches in general show the continuing significance of general adventism in the Christian tradition.

	[No title]
		Adventism has long born the stigma of being called a cult.
		Since Seventh-day Adventism does officially accept the foundational doctrines of historic Christianity (the inspiration and authority of the Bible, the Trinity, Christ's true deity, His bodily resurrection, and salvation by grace through faith) we do not believe that it should be classified as a cult.
		While Adventism has not always been crystal clear in making proper distinctions between what saves us (faith or works), the great majority of Adventist scholars, teachers and pastors that I have spoken with believe firmly in salvation by grace through faith alone.

	"From Controversy to Crisis..." An article providing an in depth analysis of Seventh Day adventism. Believersweb.org
		Adventism affirmed the inspiration of Scripture, the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, and Christ's deity, virgin birth, vicarious atonement, bodily resurrection, and second advent.[2] Martin, who had written extensively on the subject of American-based cults, immediately recognized that this was not the doctrinal statement of a typical cult.
		Adventism, in fact, was debating the same basic issues that provoked the Reformation of the sixteenth century.
		With respect to the charge that Traditional Adventism is a non-Christian cult, it must be emphasized that the structure of Adventism is largely orthodox (accepting the Trinity, Christ's deity, virgin birth, bodily resurrection, etc.).

	ADVENTISM IN CRISIS
		Adventism's nineteenth-century objective was narrowly focused upon the last-day events which were thought to be so near.
		Adventism has also paid the price for failing to allow their members true freedom to elect their own leaders and implement their own programs.
		Therefore, it is realistic to assume that the worst case scenario would be the continuation of the present ineffective policies or the continued attempt to introduce half measures that could further escalate the present highly unstable situation.

		Hence, when Adventism enters a town the people should be told plainly what it is, what its effects are, and wherein it is unscriptural.
		None of the leaders of Seventh-day Adventism, such as White, Andrews, Bates, Rhodes, etc., were ever of any note in Miller's work, though they were all in it; yet afterwards they claimed to be the only ones who had the right view of it.
		The origin of Adventism was in the Millerite time-setting of 1843 and 1844, which all know was a mistake.

	Seventh-day Adventism - Apologetics research resources on religious cults and sects
		It is the division of Adventism, who often refer to themselves as "the remnant church," or God's exclusive agent, that CRI would regard as being cultic.
		The publishers of Apologetics Index consider Seventh-day Adventism to be a cult of Christianity, due to its adherence to un-biblical and extra-biblical doctrines and practices, as well as the movement's failure to repent from its reliance on the works of Ms.
		Instead, we must compare Adventism's fundamental doctrines with those long accepted by Christianity When we do so, we are forced to conclude that Adventism distorts the Bible to perpetrate its own religion essentially denying the true Good News of the Bible in order to focus upon its own heretical theology.

	Seventh-Day Adventism
		Seventh-Day Adventism began in the 1840s with a group of former Millerites, a group who grew around William Miller, who believed first that Jesus Christ would return between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844, which was supposedly 2,300 years after the beginning of the prophecy in Daniel 8:14.
		One group believed that something important did happen in October 1844, that Jesus began His ministry from the Most Holy Place, which represented the beginning of the "end times." The group recognized Ellen G. White as a prophet of God, and her writings were and are held in great esteem.
		The other main teaching of Seventh-Day Adventism is the imminent return of Jesus Christ, or the "Second Advent." Their belief system concerning the Second Advent has many parallels with Plymouth Brethren: Premillennialism.

	Is Seventh-day Adventism a Cult?
		Because one of the features of Adventism is the contemporary prophetic gift expressed through Ellen G. White, it has been suggested maliciously that she founded the church.
		And we believe that a fair-minded look at the Ellen G. White writings themselves will support that evidence shows that the ultimate authority for Adventism is, as it always has been, the Bible, and that the writings of Ellen G. White have not been placed on a level authoritatively with the Bible.
		Having suggested that Seventh-day Adventism is clear at all four key points, I must say that I care little whether we really are clear of the "cult" label or not.

		Vance, a sociologist at Georgia Southwestern State University, focuses on gender issues to clarify both the status of women in Adventism and the broader problem of Adventism's status in the sect-denomination schema.
		Adventism's extensive network of respected health-care institutions, its accredited colleges and universities, its generally cordial relations with government and other churches, and the middle-class comfort of most members suggest the profile of a denomination.
		Ford was motivated not only by fidelity to scripture but by concern about a central Adventist teaching: that believers must give evidence of a sanctified life in order to make it through the judgment begun in the heavenly sanctuary in 1844.

	The Shaking of Adventism
		Looking over Adventism's history as a whole, we suspect that the initial claims to furthering the Reformation were made in a fairly general fashion.
		The early pioneers of Seventh-day Adventism tended to believe that the Holy Spirit Dove flew straight from the apostles to their own shoulders—with only occasional stop-overs in the intervening period.
		In reviewing the central thrust of Adventism, I have been intrigued to observe the striking parallels between the leadership's behavior at the time of the 1888 revival and the role of the leadership today in the current conflict.

	Adventist Review: What Is Adventist in Adventism?
		The second strand of shut door Adventism agreed with the spiritualizers on the fulfillment of the 2300-day prophecy of Daniel 8:14 on October 22, but disagreed with them on the nature of the event.
		But in early 1845 she reported another vision in which she “saw the Father rise from the throne, and in a flaming chariot go into the holy of holies within the veil, and sit down” at the beginning of the second phase of Christ’s heavenly ministry (see EW 14, 15, 54-56).
		As Adventism’s first theologian he set forth a system of concepts that united the doctrines of the Second Coming, the Sabbath, and the sanctuary within a great struggle between good and evil as portrayed in Revelation 11:19-14:20.

	Seventh-Day Adventism
		Another group of Millerites was influenced by Joseph Bates, a retired sea captain, who in 1846 and 1849 issued pamphlets insisting that Christians observe the Jewish Sabbath—Saturday—instead of worshipping on Sunday.
		Seventh-Day Adventism cannot change its views on the Catholic Church being the Whore of Babylon without admitting that it was wrong on Sunday worship.
		There is a "moderate" wing of Adventism that is more open to Catholics as individuals (though still retaining White’s views concerning the papacy).

	adventist today
		Consequently, early Adventism focused mostly on distinctive Adventist beliefs while neglecting some of the more common, core truths of Christianity, including a clear proclamation of the death of Christ as the only basis for salvation, apart from works.
		Evangelical Adventism would elevate the gospel and its expression, justification by faith on account of Jesus, not in an attempt to deny or minimize other aspects of the great plan of salvation (sanctification, glorification, God's vindication before the universe), but in order to give them relevance.
		Evangelical Adventism is a continuation of the historically "always reforming" church.

		As in typical service there was a work of atonement at the close of the year, so before Christ's work for redemption of men is completed, there is a work of atonement for the removal of sin from the sanctuary.

	adventist today
		He identified two theological camps within Adventism, traditional and evangelical, which differ on the meaning of righteousness by faith, the human nature of Christ, the significance of 1844, the possibility of perfection, and the authority of Ellen G. White.
		Primitive Seventh-day Adventism, writes Samples, was clearly a cultic movement which held "a non-trinitarian view of God, a semi-arian christology, a semi-pelagian gospel, a message of restoration, a strongly legalistic piety, an identity rooted in speculative eschatology (rather than the gospel), and an unsophisticated and unreliable hermeneutic."
		Within Adventism, Ratzlaff states, are a number of theological camps, including liberal, historic (which he splits into early historic and contemporary historic), evangelical, and denominational (pages 333-337).

		Their statement contained this telling sentence: "As to the effect of Dr. Barnhouse's courageous reappraisal of Seventh-Day Adventism, we are convinced that it will not only create a sensation in evangelical circles, but it will lead thousands to restudy the 'message' which Seventh-Day Adventists feel called to give to the world in these last days."
		It also teaches that the redeeming work of the incarnate Son has put us back where Adam was before he fell, and further declares that our eternal glory hinges upon the formation of perfect character, for which we are responsible – which is [the error of] Romanism.
		Thus, Adventism’s [humanistic] soteriology is a mixture of Galatianism, Russellism, and Romanism.

		The development and very existence of Adventism is literally incomprehensible apart from Ellen White and her voluminous writings.
		It is our position that the evaluation given by Barnhouse and Martin still stands for that segment of Adventism which holds to the position stated in QOD, and further expressed in the Evangelical Adventist movement of the last few decades.
		Traditional Adventism, on the other hand, which seems to have gained the support of many administrators and leaders (at least at Glacier View), appears to be moving further away from a number of positions taken in QOD.

		It is my heartfelt prayer, that as the readers probe the depths of Adventism, they will ultimately come to the conclusion that the information presented herein is indeed concise, objective, and factual.
		With intentional ambiguity and complexity, many facets of Adventism are most difficult to examine, understand, and expose (i.e., their stance on abortion, their exclusive investigative judgment, etc.).
		Members of their conservative and liberal theological societies have been known to even refuse dining together when their meetings were held in the same vicinity.

	What is Seventh-day Adventism and what do Seventh-day Adventists believe?
		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.
		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.

	Seventh-Day Adventism - Orthodox or Cult?
		Seventh-Day Adventism (SDA) arose from the aftermath of the Adventist movement of the mid-1800s.
		In the late 1950s, cult expert Walter Martin, founder of the Christian Research Institute, in collaboration with neo-evangelical Donald Barnhouse, made an extensive investigation of the teachings (doctrines) of Seventh-Day Adventism.
		Their purpose was to determine whether to classify SDA as part of the evangelical community, or to go along with the majority of evangelicals and treat SDAs as cult members (thereby requiring evangelicals to exercise Biblical separation).
