    My perspective of my SDA cousins (Question about baptism)

    I was born, raised, and educated in the SDA church. I left the church a few years ago and now enjoy fellowship in a Non-denominational church. I was baptized at age 12 in the SDA church with a lot of pressure to do so from my parents and teachers. It seemed as though it was expected of every...

    Can the Investigative Judgement doctrine be explained without reference EGW?

    This is the kind of attitude that makes it difficult to stay with this church. Thankfully I do know that everyone in the church is not this arrogant or judgemental. I do appreciate the many other honest helpful posts. Thank you:thumbsup:

    Can the Investigative Judgement doctrine be explained without reference EGW?

    Now a follow up to my original question. If I have an ongoing relationship with Jesus and living the Christian life and daily confessing and asking forgiveness of sin does the Investigative Judgement really make any difference to me? I don't see it as necessary to my salvation.

    Can the Investigative Judgement doctrine be explained without reference EGW?

    I was born and raised SDA. Educated mostly in SDA schools and always took the church teachings as truth. After college I went my own way in the world for a while and came back about 14 years ago. I have had a real up and down relationship with the church since that time. I have heard the...

    Seventh Day Baptist & Presbyterian

    :wave: I'm surprised that I havn't seen any references here to the Church of God 7th Day. I am SDA, but I occasionally attend a COG7 church because some of my relatives go there. Many of there beliefs are similar to ours. There are also quite a few differences though. I will try to post...

    Creeping Compromise

    I couldn't agree with you more Tim. I have been going through many struggles of my own for several months now. I found your post to be encouraging. The world has many distractions to offer us that will turn our hearts and minds away from Jesus. I would like to take time now to make a new...

    Movies - to go or not to go ???

    We should use the same standards regardless of the form or location of our entertainment. We need to be equally cautious of content whether it be at the movies, the video store, tv, or the internet. The theater that EGW was refering to was the Vaudeville and Burlesque shows that were common...

    I want thank all of you for your prayers. I still don't know how this is going to turn out but I can definately see God working in my life again.

    Dear SDA Brothers and Sisters. I urgently need your prayers. I have been separated from wife and family since last Sunday. I confessed some sins to my wife on Sunday that I just could not keep secret any more. I will spare you the details here. My pastor has been a wonderful help to me...

    Being forced to work on the Sabbath

    Thank you Sassy, I would find it hard to live with myself if I knew that a patient didn't make only because I wouldn't help him on the Sabbath! :thumbsup:

    mixing theology

    I don't think we have any way of knowing how long or short the tribulation will be. I think it would be a good idea to be ready for Christ's return before the tribulation begins since we know that it is coming soon although we don't know when and we don't know how long it will last. I would be...

    Being forced to work on the Sabbath

    I should also add that I refrain from working overtime shifts during Sabbath hours unless I know that there is no one else able to work. :thumbsup:
