  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Here is a good explanation of what Seventh-Day Adventist believe from Wikipedia, in which I am a editor, has on the doctrines which Seventh-day Adventists have which are the central doctrines of Protestant Christianity:

The Trinity, the incarnation, the virgin birth, the substitutionary atonement, justification by faith, creation, the second coming, the resurrection of the dead, and last judgment.

In Seventh-day Adventists Answer Questions on Doctrine (1957), four authors outlined the core doctrines that they share with Protestant Christianity.

"In Common With Conservative Christians and the Historic Protestant Creeds, We Believe—
1. That God is the Sovereign Creator, upholder, and ruler of the universe, and that He is eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.

2. That the Godhead, the Trinity, comprises God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

3. That the Scriptures are the inspired revelation of God to men; and that the Bible is the sole rule of faith and practice.

4. That Jesus Christ is very God, and that He has existed with the Father from all eternity.

5. That the Holy Spirit is a personal being, sharing the attributes of deity with the Father and the Son.

6. That Christ, the Word of God, became incarnate through the miraculous conception and the virgin birth; and that He lived an absolutely sinless life here on earth.

7. That the vicarious, atoning death of Jesus Christ, once for all, is all-sufficient for the redemption of a lost race.

8. That Jesus Christ arose literally and bodily from the grave.

9. That He ascended literally and bodily into heaven.

10. That He now serves as our advocate in priestly ministry and mediation before the Father.

11. That He will return in a premillennial, personal, imminent second advent.

12. That man was created sinless, but by his subsequent fall entered a state of alienation and depravity.

13. That salvation through Christ is by grace alone, through faith in His blood.

14. That entrance upon the new life in Christ is by regeneration, or the new birth.

15. That man is justified by faith.

16. That man is sanctified by the indwelling Christ through the Holy Spirit.

17. That man will be glorified at the resurrection or translation of the saints, when the Lord returns.

18. That there will be a judgment of all men.

19. That the gospel is to be preached as a witness to all the world."[38]

The theology of the Seventh-day Adventist Church resembles that of Protestant Christianity, combining elements from Lutheran, Wesleyan/Arminian, and Anabaptist branches of Protestantism. Adventists believe in the infallibility of Scripture and teach that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ. The 28 fundamental beliefs constitute the church's official doctrinal position

The following list comes from Steve Wohlberg's (an SDA pastor and theologian) website and is good overview of Adventist beliefs...

We Believe
The following is not meant to be the formation of a creed, but is rather a statement of beliefs based on solid biblical teachings. We invite all readers to follow the example of the noble Bereans who, nearly two thousand years ago, “searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11).
  • The Bible (Old and New Testaments) is fully inspired by God, and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16)
  • God created our world in six literal, 24-hour days, and rested on the seventh day (Gen. 1; 2:1-3; Exodus 20:11).
  • Satan (a fallen angel), led Eve into sin (Gen. 3:1-6; Isaiah 14:12-14; Rev. 12:9)
  • Jesus Christ is the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world (1 John 4:14)
  • Jesus Christ has revealed to the entire human family God’s loving character (John 3:16; 14:9)
  • Jesus Christ is fully God and fully Man (John 1:1-3, 14; 1 Tim. 2:5)
  • Jesus was born of a virgin and died on the cross for the sins “of the whole world” (Matthew 1:23; 1 Cor. 15:3; 1 John 2:2)
  • On the third day (Sunday morning), Jesus rose from the dead, as predicted in advance by the Scriptures (Luke 24; 1 Cor. 15:3,4)
  • God is not prejudiced against any race, color, or nation (Acts 17:26; Rom. 2:11; Rev. 7:9)
  • Eternal life is a free gift through Jesus Christ (Rom. 6:23)
  • God’s love brings a sinner to repentance (Rom. 2:4)
  • God calls all to repent and believe in Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21)
  • We must be born again by the power of the Holy Spirit (John 3:6,7)
  • Believers in Jesus should be baptized by immersion (Mat. 3:16,17; Mark 16:15; Acts 2:38,41)
  • We should follow God’s Word above man’s traditions (Mat. 4:4; Col. 2:8)
  • We should treat everyone with love and respect (Eph. 4:25, 5:1, 9)
  • We should keep ourselves “unspotted from the world” (James 1:27)
  • We are living in “the time of the end” (Daniel 12:4,10)
  • By His grace and motivated by love, God’s end-time people will keep the Ten Commandments and the faith of Jesus Christ (John 14:15; Rev. 14:12)
  • Christians should endure tribulation “to the end” (Mat. 24:13; Acts 14:22)
  • The Antichrist of prophecy is “already in the world” (1 John 2:18; 4:3)
  • The major Protestant Reformers were correct about the Antichrist.
  • Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between God and fallen humanity (1 Timothy 2:5)
  • Jesus will not return secretly, but openly and visibly for all to see (Mat. 24:26,27,30,31)
  • There will be “a resurrection of the dead, both the just and the unjust” (Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29)
  • Jesus Christ is “the seed of Abraham” (Galatians 3:16)
  • True believers in Jesus Christ – Jews and Gentiles – become part of Abraham’s seed, “the Israel of God” (Gal. 3:28,29; 6:14-16)
  • Our final home is the New Jerusalem (Hebrews 12:22-24; Rev. 21:1-4, 10-27)
  • All the lost will end up in “the lake of fire, which is the second death” (Revelation 20:14,15)
  • God will make a new heaven and a new earth for His people to live in, where righteousness dwells (2 Peter 3:9-14)
  • The truth of the Bible is bigger than any church or denomination.
  • The Bible is our final authority.
