you have a point? or will you spend the day debating the merits of a name? Just asking....
the question is trivial, consistency is not.... however you will read into this what you will.... the name of this sub-forum is progressive sda, plain and simple, no bells, whistles, manifestos, mission statements, or profound explanations of our reason to be.... as I said, there is really no need to overthink this one... unless you have the time and that's what you wish to do......Forgive me for asking a trivial question that has no answer. Is it really that impossible to be consistent?
Bourbaki,If you mean that I'm being neutral, that is correct.

have a good day...
Are there or are there not Adventists that strongly disagree with the Trinity doctrine in the 28 fundamental beliefs because they think the church should be following the doctrinal beliefs of the Adventist pioneers of the 1880s? By the accepted definition, they are Progressives. It that true or not?
To answer your question we had these sub-forums imposed upon us. At first we were called reformed Adventists, but that is the name of an actual movement that is not the same.
Therefore we at some point selected another name.
The definitions are not real-world ones, but practical ones that were imposed by outside mods. We have just embraced them for lack of a better "fence."
Some things develop historically, and might not make much sense to an outsider.
Hi Tall. I can accept an arbitrary definition. And I even think it's a good idea to separate dissidents from the main Adventist forum. Technically, the Progressives are just Adventist dissidents, are they not?
In a strange twist, yes, they are, for the purpose of this forum.
I'm just testing this forum to see if anyone around here fits my definition of being reasonable. I sincerely appreciate your simple direct answer. By any chance, are the moderators of the Progressive Adventist forum as reasonable as you?

when i was a member there it took about 2 or 3 posts and I found myself in jail or something....Eugene? Is that you?
Someone just informed me that might be you.
Now you could have just introduced yourself, since I am already on your forum
I have had some changes in my life lately, since I was actively posting on your board.
But I still enjoyed the time I spent there.
Welcome.

Actually Progressive Adventist is a real world definition and it has been in use for over 20 years. Like any new word or term of course it is adopted by a subgroup first as they are then ones who find the term useful. From there it moves into the wider vocabulary.
For those who would like a definition you can read the following:
